Visited Belgium for 10 days. Solid experience. Scene is improved. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $111/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 8.5/10. One of my favourites.
AMA.
Is Belgium worth visiting?

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

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

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
