Tervuren, one of the wealthiest municipalities in Belgium, offers a picturesque and affluent experience. Connected to Brussels by the grand Tervurenlaan avenue, commissioned by king Leopold II for the famous Universal Exhibition of 1897, this elegant thoroughfare intertwines with a historic tramline, serving both heritage and commuter purposes. Adding to its charm, Tervuren was once a stop along an electric railway, with its disused terminus now transformed into the vibrant Spoorloos Station (Trackless Station) pub, located across from the illustrious Royal Museum for Central Africa.
