Geographically, it forms a continuation of Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat, which runs from the centre of Brussels. Rue de la Loi ends at the western end of the Parc du Cinquantenaire/Jubelpark, while Avenue de Tervueren starts at the eastern end of the park. A tunnel starting just west of the Schuman roundabout takes the main carriageway of Rue de la Loi under the Cinquantenaire (with a short uncovered section in the centre of the park), and emerging at Merode as the central carriageway of Avenue de Tervueren.

The avenue was commissioned by King Leopold II of Belgium as part of his building campaign, and finished in 1897 in time for the Brussels International Exhibition of that year.

Tram route 44 follows a large portion of Avenue de Tervueren, from Montgomery station all the way to Tervuren. For much of the distance, it has a dedicated track. The road also has a cycle path for much of its length.
