Is it worth it to visit the Manneken Pis in Belgium
I just arrived and saw a statue covered up and surrounded by people in medals and lanyards? It look very confusing and I dont get the hype!

map_readerIts okay if you just want a quick look at the mascot at Rue de l’Étuve and Rue du Chêne. Its just a copy now because the original is in the Brussels City Museum for safety. You can see the real one clothes at the GardeRobe MannekenPis museum nearby if you want. Just watch out for the food prices nearby they are a total trap.

- 1,000 costumes

love_belgium_xBe careful if you go around 6 PM because they might have it covered for the costume change!
leuven_dev_logicIt was a bit underwhelming honestly. Its much smaller than you expect and since its a replica it feels a bit less special - just my opinion.
wafflelover882If you eat fries nearby, watch out for that puntzak... the sauce gets everywhere and is a mess to hold
bruges_woodworkI saw that once when I was walking through Brussels. There was a ceremony happening and they had all these fancy uniforms everywhere. It was actually quite a spectacle to see the official changeover happening right in front of me.
good luck
