Things To Do
Falls Park on the Reedy
Located in the heart of downtown Greenville, Falls Park features the iconic Liberty Bridge, scenic walking paths, beautiful gardens, and stunning views of the Reedy River Falls. It's the perfect spot for a stroll or to relax and enjoy the city's natural beauty. We like to stop by Spill the Beans or Carmella's and grab a tasty and then walk and explore the art in the Grand Bohemian Hotel.
Spill the Beans
A Greenville favorite for over 20 years, Spill the Beans serves coffee, custom-blended ice cream, and fresh waffle cones just steps from Falls Park. Stop by for a perfect sweet treat while exploring downtown.
Carmella's Cafe and Dessert Bar
Whether you're craving an afternoon coffee or a late-night dessert, Carmella's is the perfect stop for house-made gelato, decadent cakes, espresso drinks, and cocktails.
TD Saturday Market
If you enjoy strolling through a farmers market and exploring local produce, baked goods, flowers, and handmade items, spend a Saturday morning on Main Street at the TD Saturday Market. It's a fun way to experience downtown and support local vendors.
Unity Park
One of Greenville's newest gathering spots, Unity Park is a great place to grab a coffee or a bite to eat, stroll along the Swamp Rabbit Trail, or relax and enjoy the green space along the Reedy River. There are tons of food and drink options nearby with Southernside Brewery and The Commons (we love Methodical Coffea and the Community Tap)!
Swamp Rabbit trail
The Swamp Rabbit Trail is a scenic multi-use greenway perfect for walking, running, or biking. You can catch the trail from Falls Park or right across the river from the Huguenot Loft and follow it north to Unity Park and if you bike, Furman University and Traveler's Rest. There are parks, local coffee shops, restaurants, and beautiful views along the way.
UP on the Roof
For some of the best views in Greenville, head to UP on the Roof for handcrafted cocktails, seasonal bites, and panoramic views of downtown, the Reedy River, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. We always love stopping by here to just relax and enjoy the beautiful views from downtown Greenville.
Yee-Haw Brewing Company
One of Greenville's many breweries located in downtown, Yee-Haw features a spacious beer garden, lawn games, and plenty of outdoor seating. We love the outdoor space and the great beer selection!
Gather GVL
An open-air food hall made from repurposed shipping containers, Gather GVL is home to a variety of local restaurants, craft drinks, and live music. It's a great spot for groups, with something for everyone and plenty of outdoor seating to relax and enjoy Greenville's vibrant atmosphere.
Methodical Coffee
A Greenville favorite known for expertly crafted coffee, house-made pastries, and a beautifully designed space. Whether you're starting your morning or taking an afternoon break, it's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy one of the city's best cups of coffee. There are two downtown locations that we love visiting and hope you will too!
Paris Mountain State Park
Just minutes from both downtown Greenville and Furman University, Paris Mountain State Park offers scenic hiking and biking trails, peaceful lakes, and beautiful mountain views. It's the perfect place to enjoy the outdoors and experience the natural beauty of the Upstate.
Greenville Zoo
Located in Cleveland Park just minutes from downtown, the Greenville Zoo is home to giraffes, lions, red pandas, leopards, and more. It's a fun way to spend a few hours exploring one of Greenville's favorite family-friendly attractions.
Furman University
Take a stroll around Furman's picturesque campus, known for its iconic bell tower, lake, and tree-lined walking paths. It's one of the most beautiful college campuses in the Southeast and well worth exploring.
