In fact it is not a tourist trap but a cultural discussion in Flanders. Which city has the most original "Manneke Pis"
-Brussels (look at my pages)
-Geraardsbergen (look at my pages)
-Ghent
No further discussion - Ghent of course - located at the Kraanlei in the historical center of Ghent, near the Castle of Counts

Fun Alternatives: Visit the three Mennekens
In the pictures
-The one in Brussels (the most famous one)
-The one in Geraardsbergen ( a copy - haha)
-The one in Ghent located at "de Kraanlei" - the original one

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
