Just got back from 5 days in Belgium. Here's my detailed report.
Arrival and first impressions: Had a driver arranged in advance. Checked into my hotel near undefined.
Day 1-2: Explored the area, got the lay of the land. Took time to figure out the scene.
Days 3-5: Found my favorite spots. The undefined area was exactly as described on the forum.
Prices: In line with expectations. Some room for negotiation.
Tips for others: Be respectful and you'll have a great time.
Would I go back? Absolutely.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try asking locals for recommendations.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has stayed consistent recently.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

Good info. I'd add that the late night is the best time to go.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.
