The American Club
of Brussels is one of the
oldest American clubs in Europe, founded in 1921 to foster Belgian-American
relations. Although our members comprise more than twenty other
nationalities from all walks of life, the ACB retains its American flavor.
Some of us are long-time residents in Belgium. Many of us are newcomers. We
all enjoy ourselves and the club’s wide variety of social and cultural
activities.
The ACB is a great way to expand your
circle of friends and to discover more of the delights of Belgium. Try us.
