Any chance of an entry on the Manneken Pis?
It is, in my experience, unique among major city-based tourist attractions. Every other attraction I've ever been to - including but not limited to the Eiffel Tower, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Big Ben etc. - all of these things are available to tourists as models. And in every other case, the models you can get are miniature versions of the attraction in question.
The Manneken Pis is, to my knowledge, the only major tourist attraction of which it is possible, near the real thing, to buy a scale model to take home which is BIGGER AND MORE IMPRESSIVE than the actual item itself.
