Explore Greenville

Once you arrive in Greenville, make your first stop the beautiful building on Main Street that doubles as a bookshop and a coffee shop. Grab a coffee and a snack, shop for books by authors from around the South, and you may be lucky enough to sit in on a pop-up guest speaker event or chef tasting.
After fueling up on coffee and literature, start your self-guided walking tour of Main Street, where you will see historic buildings, statues, squares, and some lively shops.

One of your stops on Main Street is a unique popcorn store that sells savory and sweet creative popcorn flavors, all made on site. You can ask for a taste of over 75 flavors of popcorn, including dill pickle, BBQ bacon, Bloody Mary, and churro caramel. Take a tin to-go and shop for candies and chocolates too.

View free visual art exhibitions displaying works of international, national, regional, and local artists, at the Main Gallery and Community Gallery. You can also participate in a workshop or drop in the first Friday gallery crawl from 6-9pm.
GCCA's galleries are open from Tuesday – Friday between 9am – 5pm and on Saturday between 11am – 3pm.
Afterwards, walk around the restaurants, galleries and shops at the Village of West Greenville, which is fondly named the SoHo of Greenville because of its many independent art and creative businesses.

Visit this one-of-a-kind museum where you can see displays telling the regional history of fifteen upstate South Carolina counties from the early 18th century to the present. Learn about the World War II, Civil War in the South, and the Reconstruction Era at this interactive Smithsonian-affiliate museum Open Tuesday – Saturday from 10am to 5pm and Sunday 1pm to 5pm.

Take a stroll along the Reedy River Falls and the Liberty Bridge — a 345-foot, curved bridge held in the air by a single suspension cable — the only single-suspension bridge of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. The nationally acclaimed green space is a popular place to walk around with kids and dogs during all times of the day and night.
Also, check out the art installations at the park. The red steel “Untitled 2002-2003” sculpture (referred to by many residents as Gumby) sits near the bridge, and Dale Chihuly’s "Rose Crystal Tower" is at the other end of the park.
