The city of Greenville, South Carolina, is the oldest in the group at 170 years old and has one of the South's most historic districts. It is also recognized nationally as one of the fastest-growing cities in the region.
The most excellent months to visit Greenville are September to November and March to May. Temperatures are reasonable, with no of the intense humidity of the summer to contend with, and visitors are fewer at local attractions.
Spring brings lush green trees and brilliant blooms, while fall is a lovely season for hikers and bikers because the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains' foliage bursts into color.
Greenville is located along Interstate 85, which runs through the city and connects with other major thoroughfares like I-85, U.S. Highway 25, and others. The Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) serves flights from five major carriers.
