Greenville, SC isn’t your typical Southern getaway — it’s the kind of place that sneaks up on you in the best way possible. Think: rooftop views paired with craft cocktails, forest trails that start on the outskirts of the city, and waterfalls that flow just steps from world-class dining.

Here’s why Greenville should be your next vacation spot.

1. From Main Street to mountain views

In Greenville, city energy meets natural beauty. Cruise the 28-mile Swamp Rabbit Trail along the Reedy River, hike forest paths to panoramic summit views, or find your zen listening to the falls from Liberty Bridge — all just minutes apart.
