Downtown Asheville & Pack Square
Downtown Asheville
The historic center of Asheville, filled with buildings in the Art Deco style, including the City Hall, independent bookstores, street performers, and restaurants.
Downtown Asheville preserves many buildings in the Art Deco style from the 1920s. The City Hall, with its pink terra-cotta roof, is especially eye-catching. Around Pack Square, you can walk to independent bookstores like Malaprop's, chocolate shops, galleries, and restaurants. Street performers are common. On summer Friday evenings, an informal drum circle gathers in Pritchard Park. There are paid parking garages downtown, which make a good starting point for exploring on foot, and the city has free walking-tour markers around the historic district.
