ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR VISITING ASHEVILLE
Shoulder season is March to May / September to November and is the best time to visit because there’s less traffic and the temperatures are ideal.
Bring layers! In the summer, the days are often hot, but when the sun goes down most people are reaching for another light layer.
Best way to get around is by getting a rental car (Book a RENTAL CAR here). You can also Uber or Lyft, but it starts getting pricey.
Street parking is pretty congested year-round. If you’re lucky enough to find a spot you can save a little time by downloading the PassportParking app b
