Welcome to Pittsburgh! Nestled at the confluence of three rivers and stitched together by more than 440 bridges, Pittsburgh is a place where history, innovation, and artistry meet. In fact, it has more bridges than Venice, making it a uniquely connected and visually striking city.
One of the best ways to take in Pittsburgh’s dramatic skyline is from Mount Washington, where the Duquesne Incline offers a nostalgic ride up the hillside and a sweeping view of the city below. After you reach the top take an iconic selfie with the panoramic view of the city.
Pittsburgh is also a cultural powerhouse. The city is home to world-class institutions like the Andy Warhol Museum, which celebrates the life and work of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. The Warhol is only across the bridge from downtown Pittsburgh, making the walk a breeze. They’re also open until 10 pm on Fridays!
Getting around Pittsburgh is simple. The downtown area (aka the Golden Triangle) is walkable, and where you’ll find The Harris Theater and the Pittsburgh Playhouse. Public transportation is reliable and easy to navigate, and for those who prefer to bike, the POGOH bike share system makes it easy to explore neighborhoods at your own pace. Hop on the T to easily get to the Hollywood Theater in Dormont for opening night and Chiller Theater.
Pittsburgh’s passion for sports is woven into its identity. Home to the Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates, the city’s stadiums are more than just venues, they’re landmarks. PNC Park, in particular, is often called the most beautiful ballpark in the world, offering stunning views of the river and skyline that rival any cinematic backdrop. If you have time stop by the Heinz History Center in the neighboring Strip District (and do some shopping while you’re at it).
For food lovers, Pittsburgh has everything from the infamous local favorite Primanti Bros. sandwich layered with fries and coleslaw to James Beard nominated restaurants Fet-Fisk, Apteka, and Chengdu Gourmet. We’ve put together a guide of downtown restaurants as well. The city’s craft beer scene is thriving, with more than 40 breweries in the metropolitan area. Whether you’re into hoppy IPAs or smooth stouts, there’s something for every taste (don’t forget to grab a can of our Director’s Cut IPA from Trace Brewing).
Pittsburgh is a city that welcomes storytellers. Whether you’re here to showcase your work or discover new voices, take a moment to explore the city’s own story. Need more recommendations? Head over to Visit Pittsburgh’s website and use the Discover Your Persona quiz to get a custom guide.
