There is a strong mountain vibe in Asheville. After all, it is high up in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. But there is so much more to Asheville than climbing its steep hills. There is so much history and architecture, like the magnificent dome-topped Basilica of Saint Lawrence or the enormous 19th-century Biltmore Estate, where among other treasures you can see some priceless Renoir paintings. More art, but more modern, can be seen in the downtown Art District, with so many museums and galleries, or in the River Arts District, where old factory buildings have been converted to artists' studios. You can learn about Asheville’s spooky past during the Asheville Ghost Walking Tour and Mystery Museum and appreciate the local native plants at the North Carolina Arboretum.
