Asheville is a small, charming city tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina. The city is known around the country for its vibrant arts scene and interesting examples of historic architecture, such as the Basilica of Saint Lawrence. Perhaps the most famous site in Asheville is the massive 19th century mansion called the Biltmore Estate. Visitors will find plenty to do in the town, with art galleries lining downtown streets, plenty of tasty dining options, and beautiful views all around the area. April brings comfortable temperatures, gorgeous mountain views, including acres of native wildflowers, and plenty to do in the downtown area as businesses ramp up their offerings with the return of the warmer season.
