Shopping and sightseeing getaway
These are two things that are splendid activities in Asheville, and both are more accessible and less crowded yet still just as enjoyable in the wintertime. Shopping in Asheville is amazingly diverse for a city of this size, whether you want the typical malls and big box stores or you seek out unique, locally-owned shops like those found downtown and in Biltmore Village. Some of the Southeast's most interesting sightseeing attractions are located here, from America's largest home to Asheville's oldest home.

Cinema and cocoa
Get out of the cold and out of your typical routine with a night out watching an indie film at the Fine Arts Theatre, situated in an Art Deco building downtown. Afterwards, hit one of the area's many downtown coffee shops for a steamy cup of cocoa or Joe, such as Everyday Gourmet, Malaprop's Bookstore and Cafe or True Confections. For the true film buff, also check out some of the Asheville area spots where major Hollywood films were shot.

In the evening, enjoy some of Asheville's much-acclaimed cuisine, whether you are a lover of Southern homestyle cooking or well-made organic and vegetarian cuisine.
