Visited Belgium for 5 days. Solid experience. Scene is improved. Pricing fair.
Spent $96/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 9/10. Exceeded expectations.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $103/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Did you use the local sites or find girls at bars?

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $106/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
