Asheville ist auf dem Papier ein wenig schwer nachzuvollziehen: eine Trendsetter-Craft-Bierszene, globale Küchenangebote, jede Menge Art-Deco-Architektur, unglaubliche Museen, Kunstgalerien und Musikveranstaltungen – alles in einer Stadt mit etwa 90.000 Einwohnern. Es gibt sogar ein Schloss. Für Naturliebhaber liegt Asheville im Herzen der malerischen Blue Ridge Mountains, wo Wandern, Kajakfahren und Paddeln das ganze Jahr über Abenteuer sind. Nur wenige Kleinstädte bieten so viele Aktivitäten, also kommen Sie und seien Sie neugierig, hungrig und lassen Sie dem Hipster in sich freien Lauf.
Few destinations are as four-season friendly as Asheville, but many consider fall—specifically late September into early November—the best time to visit the Paris of the South. As it's deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the leaf-peeping here is some of the country’s best, and a scenic drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway in this season is a must. Spring is also a great time to visit, with the waterfalls running high and the mountains exploding in wildflowers.
For the best Asheville experience, you’ll probably want a car—that way you can head out on your own to the city’s numerous neighborhoods, explore the surrounding natural areas, and take a leisurely scenic drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. If you have centrally located accommodations in downtown or the River Arts District, for example, you can probably get by with some mix of walking, taxis and rideshares, and tours.
Don’t overlook a winter visit—temps regularly climb into the 50s, the crowds have all but left, and the locals are thrilled the easy-parking season has finally arrived. You can spend your days testing out breweries (Asheville has the most per capita in the US), scoping out the world-class dining and music scene, and going on hikes, like the trail from Carvers Gap to Roan Mountain, which is a local favorite.
