Watch out Asheville – even more people on deck to visit in the coming year as Forbes Magazine names our special city one of the top 15 “coolest” places to visit in 2018. The amazing thing is that Asheville is the only U.S. city to have a spot on the list. Places like Milan, Egypt, Northern Brazil, the Faroe Islands within the Kingdom of Denmark and Aysén, Chile share other spots.
Conde Nast just published an article naming Asheville as one of the top small cities in the U.S., citing our beer scene, the Biltmore Estate and the Blue Ridge Mountains. We can’t say we disagree with their reasoning. Also top on the list was Greenville, SC, a bustling, beautiful city just an hour drive from here.
