Are you planning a vacation and looking for the best things to do in Asheville for a group trip, romantic getaway, or family vacation? Hiking trails, mountain scenery, historic attractions, and an award-winning culinary scene are all within easy access to the town deemed “Land of the Sky” (acquired, we’re sure, by the blue sky that hovers above the Blue Ridge Mountains and creates the perfect canvas for landscape and sunset photos).Cool and quirky in nature, and sporting a unique boho vibe, the western North Carolina town of Asheville is a destination designed for arts, culture, history, and architecture enthusiasts. The River Arts District and the Downtown Art District offer museums, galleries, and former factories turned art studios. And then there’s that opulent castle that everyone seems to talk about when mentioning Asheville (that would be the Biltmore).
