Aiken carries the unhurried air of South Carolina horse country, where dirt roads and training tracks sit just blocks from a walkable downtown lined with brick storefronts. Visitors settle in at one of 12 hotels before exploring a food scene that spans 78 restaurants, from Southern comfort classics to newer, chef-driven spots. Across 90 destinations total, the city rewards a slower pace and a curious traveler.
