A must see when you are in the neighborhood, but maybe a little overhyped... nice quiet small town, empty of people, we parked up to the hill behind the chapel, problem to find toilet, the streets were nice but a lot of old shopkeepers are gone, of manneken pis was nice but without flowing water, why? the atmosphere was sad, cars in the center are horible, almost all cafeterias were closed, some streets were fine and clean, but we found many excrements on the sidewalks, the center can be walked up to 2 hours, be sure to visit the church and the nearby park with a golden and of course the chapel on the hill A lovely town with an interesting fountain. Worth a visit if you're close by. Oldest manneken pis of Belgium! Also have a visit in the free nearby manneken pis museum. Midden in Geeraertsbergen, vlak bij de muur, vind je Menneke Pis. Als je in de buurt bent, moet je hier even langs gaan. Visit the museum next door at the Information visitor center. It’s free and you can see many cool clothes of manneken pis The Manneken Pis of Geraardsbergen, created in 1459, is officially the oldest peeing boy in Belgium, predating Brussels’ bronze version by about 160 years. Sculpted in brass by Reinier van Tienen, this little is a symbol of local pride and independence. It might not be as famous as the one in Brussels, but in Geraardsbergen it’s just as loved. Locals often call it “het manneken” or “bitje”, and dress it up for public celebrations. There’s even a small museum and a fan club dedicated to it. This version stands quietly in the town square, surrounded by people who know its value. It’s not just a tourist photo-op, it’s part of the town’s identity. The perfect alternative, if you know what I mean! 😎😄 Het oudste Manneke Pis ! Vergeet zeker het museum niet te bezoeken Geraardsbergen is prachtig, de Markt de Vesten de Muur en een manneke pis ! Lekkere Mattentaart verkrijgbaar in bijna alle drankgelegenheden! Mais où est vrai bxl ou Grammont 🤔 The original and first Manneken pis is in this city. The one in Brussels is a copy 🤔 wao that is makes it really off the beaten path. It mskes a good day trip to explore the area around. Not the real one, but the people of geraardsbergen believe it is 😁, fun gimmick statue. I live at the city of Geraardsbergen - Belgium. This is also the city with the oldest and most famous of "Manneke Pis" around the world. Manneke Pis of Brussels is many years younger and not so beautiful. In June 2009 we have celebrating his 550 th birthday... Hij is de mooiste van België! Een echt mannenken 👌 Nice little free museum with friendly staff. Nice place to visit where yoy can find car paking, grocry shops, resturant and cofee shops.
