South Carolina’s hidden gem city may not remain hidden much longer.

Greenville was once again named to a Top 10 list, this time on Trip Advisor’s Top Destinations on the Rise.

“Featuring a one-of-a-kind “floating” suspension bridge and set against the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains, Greenville boasts a thriving arts scene, hundreds of restaurants, shops and boutiques, popular annual festivals, numerous historic sites and museums housing significant art collections,” Trip Advisor states. “Excellent interstate service and a user-friendly international airport make access easy.”

Greenville often tops most popular lists, having been named in October No. 3 in Condé Nast Traveler’s “The Best Small Cities in the U.S.” Condé Nast named it a secret city that is “just on the cusp of stardom.”

Also in October, Thrillist named West Greenville one of the “12 Neighborhoods Across America That Are About to Get Crazy Popular.” And in August, Thrillist named Greenville one of America’s Best Small Cities to Move to Before They Get Too Popular.
