Things To Do
Main Street
Greenville's Main Street runs ten blocks through the historic downtown. The tree-lined Main Street has wonderful restaurants, boutiques, bars, and shops worth exploring. The wedding venue and recommended hotels are in this area and you will enjoy walking around downtown and wandering.
Falls Park on the Reedy River
The Falls Park on the Reedy River in the heart of downtown Greenville is a gorgeous place to explore. The park has a wonderful suspension bridge and various pathways along the water. It is a beautiful centerpiece to the city.
Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint Greenville SC
Jack Brown's is the burger and beer joint where Lee famously drank over 1,000 beers! Go try a fun burger (Carrie loves the Elvis!) and ask the bartenders for a beer rec.
Scoundrel
Greenville's very own Michelin-starred restaurant in downtown is a gorgeous French cuisine eatery. Reservations book up far in advance but it is first come first serve for happy hour at the bar at 5pm!
Swamp Rabbit Trail
The Swamp Rabbit Trail Network is a 28-mile walking and biking greenway connecting downtown Greenville to Traveler's Rest with plenty of shops, restaurants, and sights to see along the way. You can hop on and off the trail easily and explore downtown Greenville or TR! There are shops where you are able to rent a bike if needed.
Unity Park and The Commons
Unity Park is an expansive green space and playground area right on the Swamp Rabbit Trail, just outside of downtown Greenville. The Commons is a wonderful food hall at the park with coffee shops, restaurants, and bars. A great spot for a run and recovery beer!
Furman University
Furman University has a gorgeous campus - we recommend talking a walk around the lake. Lee and Carrie met here in 2014. FU all the time!
Blue Ridge Parkway
The Blue Ridge Parkway runs above Greenville and is a scenic parkway that takes you along the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains. It is about an hour outside of Greenville and will take you through some incredible upcountry views. There are numerous gorgeous hikes close to Greenville and along the parkway if you're interested in getting outside and seeing the mountains on foot!
The Biltmore Estate
The Biltmore is a large estate near Asheville built for George Vanderbilt and his family. The enormous house and surrounding property are gorgeous and worth exploring - the house is now a museum and there is a winery (try the free wine tasting!) and beautiful gardens on property. It is about 1 hour from Greenville and takes time to explore but if you have time while visiting, we recommend exploring the Biltmore!
