Things to do in Asheville

Asheville sits in a broad valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains where the Swannanoa and French Broad rivers meet, and it has long drawn people looking for mountain air and a creative way of life. George Vanderbilt built the Biltmore Estate here in the 1890s, and the town’s Art Deco downtown, craft studios and independent restaurants give it a character unlike anywhere else in the Southeast. Tourism and hospitality lead the economy, alongside healthcare, craft brewing, outdoor-gear companies and a large community of artists and remote workers.
