Asheville will bowl you over from the moment you arrive. Whether it’s the sensational views of the mist-veiled, blue-hued Appalachians that steal your heart, or the indie shopping and crafts at Grove Market, Asheville is the belle of North Carolina.
For outdoor adventurers, the hiking and biking routes of the Blue Mountains take you deep into this great American wilderness, while urbanites will find their own highs at sky bars serving up cocktails and locally brewed craft beers. Then there’s the live music on street corners, theatre productions in lavish venues, and folk art in mountain retreats.
