1000 Brussels, Belgium
Belgium's most famous - and most unexpectedly tiny - landmark, the Manneken Pis is a small bronze statue of a little boy urinating into a fountain, standing at a mere 53 cm tall. Created in 1619 by sculptor Jérôme Duquesnoy (a replica - the original is in the Brussels City Museum), the statue has accumulated a wardrobe of over 1,000 costumes donated by nations and organisations worldwide. Two related statues complete the trio: the Jeanneke Pis (a female counterpart in Impasse de la Fidélité) and the Zinneke Pis (a dog on Rue des Chartreux).
Check the official Brussels website for costume-wearing dates - he changes outfits 130+ times per year. The wardrobe museum inside the Maison du Roi at Grand Place (€8) displays the full collection of over 1,000 costumes from around the world.
