Zinneken Pis


Rue de Chartreux 31h, Brussels

weben.wikipedia.org

The sculpture "Zanneke Pis" was unveiled in 1998. Beside the famous Manneken Pis and less known Jeanneke Pis it is a third bronze sculpture from „a peeing family“. The Zanneke Pis is not what you would go searching for as an attraction, but it definitely makes you smiling when you bump into it strolling through the city. Little goodie along the way that makes a fun photo opportunity. It is located on the corner of streets Rue des Chartreux / Kartuizersstraat a Rue du Vieux-Marché / Oude Graanmarkt. The world „zinneke“ means in a Flemish language a cross-breeded dog.

Chinese pavilion & Japanese Tower


Chinese Pavilion, Laeken, Brusel, Belgie

webbrussels.be

The Chinese pavilion and Japanese Tower were built between 1901-1910, as a result of the passion of the Belgian King Leopold II for Eastern culture. He was so impressed by the 1900 Univeral Exhibition in Paris, particularly the parts from the Far East, that he commissioned these works. French architect Alexandre Marcel designed the wooden Chinese Pavilion and the high red Japanese Tower.. The pavilion houses a major collection of Chinese ceramics and porcelain manufactured for export to Europe. The complex is surrounded by a garden with many Japanese plants.

Royal Palace of Brussels


Brederodestraat 16, B-1000 Brussel, Belgium

webmonarchie.be phone+32 2 551 20 20

One of the most beautiful buildings in Brussels, the Royal Palace, is the official palace of the King and Queen of the Belgians. Although it isn´t their home (the king´s family live in the Royal Palace of Laeken on the outskirts of Brussels), it is the place, where King and Queen still have their offices and the King carries out his duties as the head of state. The building also houses state rooms where large receptions are held and also living quarters for visiting dignitaries. The Palace was built in 1775 but the facade, which we see today, was built after 1900 on the initiative of King Leopold II. The palace is surrounded by a nicely designed garden and it is possible to go there from the city centre through the Brussels Park.
