Sightseeing

The Biltmore Estate is the largest attraction in Asheville. It's not cheap, but it's worth it. Opt for a 2-day pass if you can, as that will allow you to spend enough time to enjoy the grounds, too.

No trip to Asheville is complete without a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The best entrance is next to the Arboretum. Turn right on the parkway, and enjoy the views!

#1 bar in Asheville a few years running. Primarily a warm-weather bar - they've made the outside like a beer-friendly national park! Check it out if you have a chance. Live music often, too.
