There's something special about Asheville, and the world is just beginning to discover it. This thriving mountain city features a funky and eclectic downtown, 30-plus art galleries downtown alone, a burgeoning culinary scene, a thriving live music scene and, of course, the awe-inspiring scenery of the Appalachian Mountains.

This is the ultimate playground, with a wide diversity of outdoor adventures and the ideal destination for an active and healthy getaway. Asheville takes fall up a notch with the Ultimate Asheville Autumn Experience. Frommer's named Asheville one of just a dozen global must-see destinations in 2007, and Outside magazine just named Asheville the Best Southern Town.
