The Iconic Manneken Pis: A Symbol of Brussels

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, head towards Brussels from your location in Wallonia. Use the E19 motorway, which connects Wallonia to Brussels. After approximately 1-1.5 hours of driving (depending on traffic), take the exit towards 'Bruxelles-Centre'. Once you enter the city, follow the signs for 'Pentagon' or 'Grand Place'. Manneken Pis is located at Rue de l'Étuve, 1000 Brussels. There is limited street parking available, so be prepared for potential parking fees, which can range from €1.50 to €3.00 per hour.

• Train

  For those using public transportation, take a train from major cities in Wallonia such as Liège, Namur, or Charleroi to Brussels Central Station. The train journey takes approximately 1 hour. Once you arrive at Brussels Central Station, exit and head towards Rue de l'Étuve. The walk to Manneken Pis will take around 10-15 minutes. Be mindful of purchasing a train ticket in advance; prices vary based on your departure city but are typically around €10-€15 one way.

• Bus

  If you prefer to travel by bus, check the schedules for regional buses heading to Brussels from your location in Wallonia. Companies like Flibco or local services may have routes that connect directly to Brussels. Once you arrive at a central bus station in Brussels, you can walk to Manneken Pis, located about 15-20 minutes away. Ensure you have the exact fare or a ticket, as costs can vary but usually range from €5-€10.
