Sightseeing: The Biltmore Estate is lovely, also Biltmore Village has plenty of shops to explore. Downtown is very walkable, has a ton of cool galleries with items made by local artists.
If you have a car, driving up to the Grove Park Inn is a treat. Have a drink on the sunset terrace and enjoy the views of the mountains.
Also fun: Outdoorsy stuff! Drive the Blue Ridge Parkway and find a fun spot to picnic or hike. Mount Mitchell, Grandfather Mountain are two popular hiking destinations, but there are a ton of others.
The Highlands Craft Guild and Blue Ridge arts museum are beautiful and showcase local craftsmanship.
Asheville's live music scene is also amazing. Major venues are The Orange Peel, Thomas Wolfe Auditorium and a ton of smaller local pubs. Tressas is a fun jazz club if you're into the night life, or for a more down to earth feel Jack of the Wood pub is always fun.
