Greenville, South Carolina
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Greenville presents a lovely transition between the antebellum South and the wired future. This transformation between old and new is best represented by the Liberty Bridge, a 380-foot pedestrian walkway spanning the Reedy River and overlooking a waterfall in the acclaimed Falls Park. Beautiful sites can be seen all around Greenville. Once known as "Keowee Path" or "Cherokee Path," Highway 11 is a 130-mile scenic drive through the Cherokee foothills. And Cleveland Park is one of Greenville's oldest city parks with miles of walking, jogging, and biking trails along the historic Reedy River. Here you'll find various memorials, the Greenville Zoo, and Fernwood Nature Trail. It's a great place for children to run and play. For shopping and dining, you'll be sure to enjoy Greenville's revitalized downtown area. It's home to shops and boutique stores and many of the area's 600+ restaurants. The downtown area is also the center of nightlife. Numerous nightclubs and evening entertainment venues such as bars, pubs, and coffee shops are found here. Greenville is also a great place to use as a home base to see upstate South Carolina's outlying areas. Scenic beauty and turn-of-the-century charm is found around every corner, but for an excursion into extravagance, take the hour and a half drive to Asheville, NC, and visit the Biltmore Estate, America's largest privately owned home. This 175,000-square-foot mansion was built by a descendent of Cornelius Vanderbilt and is now open to the public for tours of its lavish rooms and beautiful gardens.
