Have you heard? Travel + Leisure named Asheville the No. 15 city in the US.

Travelers voted for Asheville as part of the publication’s annual World’s Best Awards. Amongst its many lovely qualities, our mountain haven was heralded for its spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the impressive food + craft beverage scene. Destination eateries such as Cúrate and Buxton Hall Barbecue also received special recognition.

Several other Southern spots, beloved for their “warm hospitality, approachable size, excellent food, and striking architecture,” made the list. Browse Travel + Leisure’s 15 Top Cities in the US in 2021.
