After making it to CNN’s 18 Best Places to Visit in 2018 and Forbes’ 15 Coolest Places to Go in 2018, our beautiful little city of Asheville is no doubt one of the places that should be on your travel list this year unless you have already visited. Although visiting it again is still a good idea. 🙂
There is so much to do and see in Asheville and I have shared a lot of them here on the blog before. I have yet to see and explore everything around Asheville, but I have sure enjoyed a lot of its beauty in the seven years that I’ve been here.
If you haven’t been here yet, these are the places that you should not miss seeing or visiting.
BILTMORE HOUSE
Situated on an 8,000 acre estate, it is the largest home in America. I’ve been there a few times already, but the beauty of the house still amazes me every time. Take a look at these posts below and learn how to enjoy Biltmore Estate to the fullest.

And make sure not to miss the beautiful architecture that you can find in downtown.

Just a few minute drive from downtown is the Botanical Gardens. If you’re a nature lover, you would surely enjoy a stroll there.

RIVER ARTS DISTRICT
Another area just a few minutes from downtown is River Arts District where you can find different shops featuring talented artists. There are a few restaurants there too. And if you’re already there, you will certainly want to check these amazing murals.
If these are not enough reasons for you to visit Asheville here in North Carolina, then I don’t know what is. 🙂
Happy 2018 and safe travels!
