Asheville is situated at the confluence of two rivers and framed by the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. A vibrant city with a rich culture and thriving art scene, this city in the United States is a luxurious location for all those who wish to spend a relaxing holiday amidst nature and culture.

Asheville's legacy of art and history is stored in a number of museums. The Asheville Art Museum offers a display of American artwork belonging to the 20th and 21st centuries. The Folk Art Centre showcases Appalachian arts and crafts and is one of the most popular attractions of the city. Biltmore Estate is another place that you must visit during your Asheville trip. Originally owned by George Vanderbilt, this mansion-turned-museum offers several tours and activities, starting from wine tasting to exploring the sprawling gardens of the estate.

The city of Asheville has its fair share of green spaces.

Whether you choose to walk along the groomed trails or expand your knowledge of the natural world in a training programme, a visit to this arboretum is sure to help you reconnect with nature.
