Driving to Asheville

Asheville is an easy road-trip destination from much of the eastern United States, with mountain views, memorable stops and a well-connected network of interstates and highways leading the way here. 

For a smooth start to your visit, stop by the Asheville Visitor Center at 36 Montford Ave. near downtown, where you’ll find maps, local information and insider tips to help you get oriented. Open seven days a week, it’s a smart first stop before settling into the city. 

Downtown Asheville also offers a range of parking garages and metered street parking, and DriveNC is a useful resource for checking real-time traffic alerts, road conditions and construction updates before and during your trip.
