Welcome to Asheville, NC!
This WorldWeb.com travel and tourism guide for Asheville, featuring hotels and other accommodations, tours, attractions, events, shopping and more, will help you plan a successful visit to Asheville, North Carolina, U.S.A.Asheville is large enough to offer many amenities, yet small enough to retain its small town friendliness and charm. The Blue Ridge Mountains that embrace the city command magnificent panoramas, with the rocky landscape providing whitewater rafting, fishing, llama trekking, and mountain biking. In fact, the area around Asheville is like a natural theme park. In nearby Pisgah National Forest, a sloping boulder creates a 150-foot natural waterslide into a clear pool below. Choose from hundreds of trails that weave within nature, or take a stroll on the Urban Trail that meanders throughout the city past sculptures, historical sights, and architecture that earned it the name —Paris to the South—. In the same tradition is Biltmore Estate, a magnificent French Chateau built over a century ago. Visitors are welcome to tour America—s largest private residence and explore its 8,000 acres (3238 hectares) of gardens and trails or the award-winning winery, the nation—s most visited vineyard.
