Pittsburgh Area

Known for its location at the intersection of three rivers and nestled among the Allegheny Mountains, the city of Pittsburgh offers professional baseball, football and hockey. Cultural institutions include the Heinz History Center, The Andy Warhol Museum and Carnegie Museum of Natural History. For a unique view of the city, hop a ride on the Duquesne Incline, a cable car that travels 400 feet to an observation deck that looks out over downtown.
