PITTSBURGH IS THAN YOU THINK CLOSER

USE THIS MAP TO ROUTE OUT YOUR TRIP, PLAN YOUR MUST-SEE STOPS AND NAVIGATE OUR CITY LIKE A PRO

Once a city reliant on its three major rivers to transport passengers and products throughout the northeast a century ago, the growth found across Pittsburgh’s metropolis has made it a diverse hub of authentic experiences, groundbreaking technology, cultural attractions and more. And now, visiting here has never been easier!

PLANES

Pittsburgh is conveniently located within 500 miles of nearly half the U.S. population and is less than a 90-minute flight from nearly half of North America’s population.

Flying across the Atlantic? We’ve got you covered thanks to our direct flights through British Airways and newly added IcelandAir (beginning May 2024). Flying in and out of our city has never been easier thanks to Pittsburgh International Airport’s Terminal Modernization Program. Well on its way, this landmark renovation is to be completed in 2025—improving the passenger experience from arrival to departure. Find your next flight at flypittsburgh.com

TRAINS

If you prefer a more leisurely route to Pittsburgh, Amtrak offers daily arrivals to their Downtown station. As part of a major grant with the Pennsylvanian Rail Modernization Project, improvements in track maintenance and daily capacity increases will allow more travelers from across the state to connect from eastern hubs such as Philadelphia and New York City.

From the West, an efficient trip via Cleveland or a full-day route from Chicago, will give you plenty of time to enjoy the scenery from the observation car. Check out Pittsburgh rail travel at amtrak.com/stations/pgh.

AUTOMOBILES

Downtown Pittsburgh is a compact 50-acre space, but there are more than 90 distinct neighborhoods outside of Downtown to explore. Traveling by car is a breeze with Interstates 79, 279, 376, and the PA Turnpike bringing tens of thousands of travelers to the city every year.

If you prefer to let someone else do the driving during your visit, Uber and Lyft rideshares or taxi services are easily accessible. Plenty of public transportation is available with Pittsburgh Regional Transit’s bus, light rail, incline and paratransit Plan your route at rideprt.org

A CITY OF CONTRASTS

Having lived in Pittsburgh for the majority of my adult life, I still struggle to explain to others the charm of the city. Until recently, many only remember Pittsburgh for its steel industry, often forgetting the rich tapestry of neighborhoods, cultures and communities that extend well beyond the city limits.

In fact, it’s this very mixture of people and industries which has made Pittsburgh so alluring for me to stick around. It’s not a city that can be summarized in a few words. It’s a city that is experienced, not necessarily one you simply visit. This is due, in part, to the fact that Pittsburgh’s a city built on a foundation of contrasts. For every neighborhood that sticks to old traditions, there is another exploring urban development plans to revitalize the area. For every industry that has come and gone through the city, another has come to utilize the skilled labor force that has always been the backbone of the Steel City. At every juncture, Pittsburgh has found a way to incorporate new innovations without losing any of the bygone charm of Pittsburgh’s heyday. It’s this that makes Pittsburgh perfectly unique—and impossible to describe to any out-of-towner.

And to really experience the stark contrast that exists all around Pittsburgh, there’s no better time to visit. From Rust Belt to robotics, or haluski to high-tech, Pittsburgh has thrived on being a city of opportunity and finding one’s own path among its 90 vibrant neighborhoods.

BRIDGING ERAS:

OLD-SCHOOL INCLINES TO LUNAR LANDERS

The journey into Pittsburgh's contrasts begins with a glance skyward, where the iconic Duquesne and Monongahela Inclines ascend the steep slopes of Mount Washington. These century-old funiculars, reminiscent of a bygone era, stand in stark contrast to the city's more futuristic endeavors. While the funiculars transport visitors to a time when steel was king, Pittsburgh's role in the space race is a testament to its ceaseless evolution.

Today, the city that once made steel beams now crafts lunar landers, embodying the transition from industrial powerhouse to cutting-edge innovation hub. At the forefront of this transformation are notable companies in the space industry that have set up their operations in Pittsburgh. One such company is Astrobotic, a pioneer in commercial lunar exploration, headquartered in the city. Astrobotic is known for developing lunar payload delivery services and is actively engaged in various lunar missions. Additionally, Space Robotics, a company specializing in advanced robotic systems for space applications, has established a significant presence in Pittsburgh.

These companies, along with others in the region, underscore Pittsburgh's transformation into a space technology hub, where the city's industrial past seamlessly integrates with its forward-looking approach to exploring new frontiers in space.

NEIGHBORHOOD CHARMS: CULINARY CONTRASTS:

FRIES ON SALADS AND THE RISE OF FINE DINING

Pittsburgh's culinary scene is a melting pot of flavors, embodying the city's penchant for unexpected contrasts. At the heart of this gastronomic adventure are the legendary fries-on-salads, a local favorite that pairs crisp French fries with fresh greens, a quirky contrast that is often seen as a novelty for those visiting the area. But don’t let this one dish overlook the vibrant and growing culinary scene in Pittsburgh.

Apteka, an Eastern European-inspired vegan eatery, has garnered acclaim for its inventive plant-based dishes, redefining perceptions of traditional flavors. Pusadee's Garden, on the other hand, offers a taste of Thailand in the heart of Pittsburgh. Known for its authentic Thai cuisine and charming outdoor garden seating, Pusadee's has become a local favorite for those seeking a culinary journey to Southeast Asia.

Morcilla, with its Spanish-inspired menu, has also made a significant mark on Pittsburgh's dining scene. Renowned for its emphasis on high-quality charcuterie and a diverse selection of tapas, Morcilla transports diners to the streets of Spain. These establishments showcase the city's commitment to embracing diverse culinary influences, providing residents and visitors alike with a rich tapestry of dining options.

Beyond these notable mentions, Pittsburgh continues to foster a dynamic environment for food enthusiasts. Trendsetting chefs and restaurateurs are reshaping the narrative, introducing innovative concepts and flavors that mirror the city's evolving identity. From intimate bistros celebrating local, seasonal ingredients to eclectic fusion kitchens blending global tastes, the culinary landscape of Pittsburgh is as diverse as the communities that call it home.

Contrast this with the sleek transformation of East Liberty, where the repurposing of the Nabisco factory into Google's regional headquarters symbolizes Pittsburgh's tech-driven resurgence. The juxtaposition of these neighborhoods paints a vivid portrait of a city that embraces its history while eagerly embracing the future. Google's presence in East Liberty has significantly contributed to the area's economic growth and technological advancement. With various startups and tech companies establishing a presence in the vicinity, East Liberty has become a hub for innovation, attracting a diverse pool of talent to the area.

Similarly, language-learning platform Duolingo, headquartered in Pittsburgh, adds another layer to the city's dynamic landscape. Founded in 2011, Duolingo has grown to become the most popular language-learning app globally, boasting millions of users worldwide. Its commitment to making education accessible has resonated with Pittsburgh's ethos of innovation and progress. Duolingo's success highlights the city's influence in the realm of technology and education, further solidifying its reputation as a multifaceted metropolis that seamlessly integrates its storied past with cutting-edge developments.

BLOOMFIELD ROWHOUSES VS. EAST LIBERTY'S TECH HUB

Exploring Pittsburgh's neighborhoods reveals a city that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern innovation. In Bloomfield, rowhouses have a timeless appeal with their red-bricked facades telling stories of generations past. With a rich cultural heritage, Bloomfield is often referred to as Pittsburgh's Little Italy, boasting an array of authentic Italian eateries and vibrant festivals that celebrate its heritage. The neighborhood's sense of community is reflected in its close-knit atmosphere, fostering a unique and welcoming environment.

So for those looking to visit Pittsburgh, you’ll find not a stagnant city that’s “past its prime,” but a vibrant patchwork of communities, industries and people that flow together as seamlessly as our three rivers. To know Pittsburgh is to discover the meaning of resilience, reinvention and a renaissance that’s happening in the Western side of Pennsylvania. So if you’re looking to discover what the Steel City is all about, meet us down in Shadyside for Happy Hour—we’ll save you a seat and order an extra side of ranch for your fries.

MUSTSEE ART: WARHOL, MURALS & MORE

DAY 1

CARNEGIE MUSEUMS IN OAKLAND

The Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History are nestled together in the heart of Oakland, making it easy to make a day of the two stops.

A PITTSBURGH ITINERARY FOR THE ARTS LOVER

While Pittsburgh is probably best known as the birthplace of Andy Warhol among arts lovers—and trust us when we say there’s no shortage of love for his iconic art—our city also has deep roots to one of the great composers of the mid-century, a prolific lifestyle photographer, magnificent muralists and so many more.

Here are just a few ways to take in Pittsburgh’s unique and diverse arts scene. But be ready to stay longer, because these jam-packed days are just the beginning of a true arts adventure around the Burgh.

One of the must-see exhibits is the Teenie Harris Archive. Charles “Teenie” Harris was a photographer for the Pittsburgh Courier, one of the pre-eminent Black news weeklies in America. He traveled the alleys, workplaces, nightclubs and ballparks of Pittsburgh, shooting backstage with Dizzy Gillespie and Lena Horne, in the dugout with Josh Gibson and Satchel Paige and on the streets of the Hill District and Homewood-Brushton.

You can check out thousands of pieces from his robust collection of work at the Carnegie Museum of Art (CMOA), while gaining a glimpse into what life was like for Pittsburgh’s Black community throughout the mid-20th Century.

While visiting CMOA, you can also see works by Pittsburghborn impressionist Mary Cassatt or take in the Pittsburgh Satellite Reef, a colorful crocheted reef and community project that brings attention to the effects of global warming.

At the Museum of Natural History, stand next to Mesozoic and real dinosaur fossils. You’ll also want to be sure to see the sparkling gemstones in the Wertz Gallery of Gems and Jewelry. The stunning necklaces, diamonds and innovative designs will definitely leave a lasting impression.

When you’re finished touring, plan for a meal at the Café Carnegie. Here, you can sip on local brews and nosh on their curated menu, including wild mushroom and chicken gnocchi or butternut squash soup. Don’t forget to snag a souvenir at one of the gift shops!

DAY 2 DAY 3

MAKING THE MOST OF PITTSBURGH’S MURALS

There are a few ways to take in Pittsburgh’s many, eyecatching murals across the city. One unique option is to visit St. Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church in Millvale, where artist Maxo Vanka painted 25 moving murals. While rooted in biblical imagery, each mural tells a deeper story about American industry, war, immigration and social justice.

In the mood for a walking tour? Pittsburgh’s city streets are adorned in hundreds of beautiful outdoor murals. One fan-favorite includes the showstopping likeness of Pittsburgh Pirates' legend Roberto Clemente in Lawrenceville, painted on the side of the Clemente Museum. Make sure to book a tour of the museum ahead of time, it’s a must-see. Located inside of an old fire house, this museum is filled with unique baseball artifacts and memorabilia. It’s also home to Engine House 25 Wines, so you can sip while you take in all the museum has to offer.

Pop culture aficionados can catch Mac Miller on the side of ID Labs in Etna where he recorded, or look for one of artist Jeremy Raymer’s many murals featuring iconic popculture figures such as Magneto, Homer Simpson, Andy Warhol and more.

Once you’re done, finish out the day at Iron Born Pizza in Millvale. While their deep dish pies with a crispy, cheesy crust are inspired by Detroit, they’ve become a true Pittsburgh staple. Grist House brewery is a short walk down the street for some post-pizza local brews.

EXPLORING THE CULTURAL AND POP DISTRICTS

No visit to Pittsburgh is complete without visiting our Andy Warhol Museum on Pittsburgh’s Northside. It’s one of the most comprehensive single-artist museums in the world and largest in North America. You can take in Brillo boxes, Campbell’s soup cans and explore interactive pieces, such as his “Silver Clouds.” And make sure you’re prepared to take selfies in the museum’s colorful Pop District, featuring colorful public art work.

When you’re done, the North Shore is just a quick pass over the 9th Street Bridge to downtown’s Cultural District. While art can be found in many of Pittsburgh’s 90 neighborhoods, you’ll find the densest concentration here. It’s where you’ll find Heinz Hall, home of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, as well as the Benedum Center, O’Reilly Theater, Byham Theater and more—all within the span of just a few blocks.

You’ll also want to check out Liberty Magic, a truly one-of-a-kind speakeasy-style venue that features magic shows. Book a spot to see one of their resident magicians and sip cocktails along with some sleight of hand. In the same corridor, you can explore multiple galleries, including Wood Street Galleries, an urban art space housed above one of the city’s light rail stations and showcases interactive art involving film, robotics and media installations.

When you’re done exploring, make sure to book a table at Meat & Potatoes, one of the staple dining venues of the Cultural District. Not only is it conveniently located no matter which venue you’re off to, the food is delicious enough to steal the evening.

PITTSBURGH IS KidsBURGH®

By Sarah Schneider Freelance Writer

Throughout Pittsburgh’s evolution from a steel-producing town to a hub for tech innovation, leaders have prioritized creating and providing opportunities for new generations.

Fred Rogers modeled kindness and emphasized emotional health while producing his children’s television program in the city. Andrew Carnegie, a steel industry titan, left much of the wealth he amassed in the Steel City to provide open access to knowledge through public libraries. Environmentalist Rachel Carson worked to preserve the environment by teaching young people why they should love and care for nature.

Pittsburgh’s cultural evolution has always included children, so the city proudly maintains the moniker “Kidsburgh.” Here, we provide families with a place to escape from the hustle and bustle and reconnect, while ensuring the kiddos have plenty of opportunities to learn, create and imagine. While you’ll find familiar spaces like parks and playgrounds while visiting the city, Pittsburgh boasts a familyfriendly line up of events and festivals and some of the most innovative and interactive spaces for kids to make any family’s trip to Pittsburgh complete.

OUTSIDE

The city’s Northside neighborhood offers many options for those traveling with children. Take your sports-obsessed kids to see the home of the Pirates at PNC Park or the Steelers at Acrisure Stadium

Push a stroller along the riverwalk, where you can pay homage to the statue of Mister Rogers. Take your shoes off in warmer months and jump in the water steps along the same path. Then, walk over the pedestrian bridge to Point State Park and admire the fountain that marks the spot where our famed three rivers meet.

If your children want an up-close look at the water, ride on the Gateway Clipper that launches from the Southside’s Station Square and tours the city’s rivers. Soccer fans can also take in a Riverhounds game at nearby Highmark Stadium

For a unique Pittsburgh experience, take the kids on a short ride on one of the two funiculars, better known as inclines. The trolleys travel up to Mount Washington for a beautiful view of the city’s skyline.

The city maintains several beautiful parks popular with children of all ages, including Schenley Park in Oakland, with several large playgrounds, and Frick Park in Squirrel Hill, with numerous trails and open spaces for kids to run around. There, older kids who are fans of the late Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller can also take in the famous Blue Slide Park

The city's East End is also home to the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium. While the zoo animals are more active in the warmer months, the indoor aquarium is perfect for all weather conditions.

INSIDE

If your family is looking for some time indoors, check out any of the Carnegie Libraries of Pittsburgh. Many of the libraries offer family-friendly events such as story time. The main branch in Oakland offers children and teen spaces where kids can play and flip through books.

The Carnegie Museums are nearby in the Oakland neighborhood, great options for all ages looking for indoor exploration. Dinosaur-loving kids will appreciate the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, where they can get an up-close look at the fossils, take a trip to the Arctic and marvel at the gemstone exhibit. Then, stop next door to appreciate the revolving exhibits of the Carnegie Museum of Art

The young naturalist would enjoy a walk through the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens which houses and maintains both exotic and native plants.

School-aged children will also appreciate exploring a “living building” in the Frick Environmental Center, where they can learn about the environment through experiential, hands-on programs.

While on the University of Pittsburgh’s campus in Oakland, older kids can explore cultural traditions through the various Nationality Rooms in the historic and iconic Cathedral of Learning. Then, stroll the beautiful campus grounds of neighboring colleges, including Carnegie Mellon University, Carlow University and Chatham University.

A quick drive to the Strip District will take you back in time through the Heinz History Center. Learn about the city’s contributions to society’s past. Daniel Tiger fans will appreciate learning where he came from while visiting the Neighborhood of Make-Believe in the Mister Rogers' Neighborhood exhibit.

The Northside offers many options, such as the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh. Pack a swimsuit for the room dedicated to water play—a toddler favorite. Older kids love the hands-on art room and the indoor slide area, where they can also explore building race tracks for toy cars.

Nearby is the National Aviary, a perfect spot for families with children in strollers and older animal-curious kids. Be sure to spot the sloth!

Another Northside destination popular with kids of all ages is the Carnegie Science Center. Toddlers love the model train display featuring several Pittsburgh landmarks and attractions. School-aged kids enjoy exploring a real Cold War-era submarine, the USS Requin, which is docked in the Monongahela River. Sports enthusiasts can also experience the laws of science through physical activity in the Highmark SportsWorks complex.

Science enthusiasts don’t have to travel far to experience space in the nearby Moonshot Museum, where young people can watch the assembly of a lunar spacecraft and go on a lunar mission.

If you want to explore pop art and Pittsburgh native Andy Warhol, check out the Andy Warhol Museum, which features interactive exhibits and collections of work on the Northside. Curl up on the couch on the first floor to recreate the iconic image of Warhol hanging behind it.

SEASONAL

While Pittsburgh’s theme park, Kennywood, offers events year-round, the summer months are best for thrill seekers looking to ride the coasters. Walk through a favorite local attraction, Noah’s Ark, and enjoy freshcut french fries at the Potato Patch stand for the full experience.

Ride the lazy river at nearby Sandcastle Water Park, where the kids can splash in wave pools and rush down its many water slides.

And just like the city’s many attractions, there’s a park just for kids. Idlewild & Soak Zone offers a children’s amusement park and water rides.

No matter when you’re visiting, your kids will love exploring, learning and having fun in the Steel City.

PENGUINS, PENGUINS, PENGUINS

MEET THEM. FEED THEM. CHEER THEM ON.

They’re adorable! They put on a good show. And they check their foes into the boards on their way to score goals? There’s a reason we have a passion for penguins here in Pittsburgh, and we’ve rounded up our favorite ways to get in on the flocking fun.

THE NATIONAL AVIARY

Right in the center of The National Aviary in Pittsburgh’s Northside is a spectacular exhibit of African penguins, allowing guests to have a 360-degree view of Penguin Point as these birds dive and waddle inches away from you. Better yet, let your kids head through tubes further into the exhibit that end in see-through domes putting children in the center of the fun.

Want to get even closer? Book a Penguin Encounter where you and a small group get a chance to touch a penguin as you learn more about the colony and take unforgettable photos with your new feathered friends. From April-November you can even gear up and help hand-feed a colony of African penguins yourself! Both experiences can be bought online along with your ticket.

PITTSBURGH ZOO & AQUARIUM

While the Pittsburgh Zoo contains more than 8,000 amazing animals throughout its sprawling acreage, the biggest crowds will always be plopped right in front of the penguin exhibit. Guests can get right up to the glass to see Macaroni (with their signature golden feathers on their heads) and Gentoo penguins play, swim and feed throughout the year.

Saturdays and Sundays during the winter months, the zoo takes advantage of the colder temps with Penguins on Parade as guests line the pathway for a picture-perfect procession of penguins around the aquarium. Be sure to get there early for the best spot; this event is extremely popular. And, if you’re not near the Burgh and missing these playful guys, you can even watch a live penguin cam daily to keep tabs on your favorites.

PITTSBURGH PENGUINS AT PPG PAINTS ARENA

Ok, so these aren’t the same cute little animals as the rest, but a Pittsburgh Penguins National Hockey League game at PPG Paints Arena is still one of the most exciting nights out you can have in Pittsburgh. With a diehard fanbase cheering on the black and gold, electric energy from an unmatched stadium experience and a Stanley Cup champion-led team on the ice, there’s plenty to enjoy when it’s hockey night. Keep a lookout for Iceburgh, their penguin mascot, for antics as he slides down railings, poses for pics and tosses out prizes to fans.

WADDLE ON!

TECH-INFUSED FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAM

The modern Pittsburgh has traded in its steel mills of the past, revolutionizing itself as a tech hub for global corporations, exciting start-ups and a rapidly growing robotics and aerospace industry. Pittsburgh is now home to the popular language learning app Duolingo, private space company Astrobotic, and is where Google and Meta are doing some of their most cutting-edge development.

When you visit Pittsburgh, you'll find that tech pops up in surprising ways across the city, elevating experiences and taking your visit out of this world. Here are just a few places to upload to your family’s itinerary.

MOONSHOT MUSEUM

Pittsburgh, we have liftoff. At Moonshot Museum, handson interaction is encouraged with exhibits that explore a variety of careers in the space industry. You’ll design your own mission patch, answer tough questions about how to make your colony, engineer the perfect rover and more. During your visit, you can also watch in real-time as lunar spacecraft are assembled by Astrobotic before they begin their journey to the Moon.

PUTTSHACK

You’ve never played a round of mini golf quite like this. Switch out the tiny pencils and scorecards for a techinfused ball that keeps track of each stroke, freeing parents up to enjoy a signature cocktail as you play alongside your kiddos. Each course features nine holes of varying complexity with hazards, bonus points and puzzles to solve as you try to outscore your opponents and master each one. With multiple courses to try out, a full menu and innovative drink specials, this is an all-in-one stop for a great family night out.

CARNEGIE SCIENCE CENTER

But why stop at the Moon? Carnegie Science Center takes you on an immersive journey to the red planet with their Mars: The Next Giant Leap permanent exhibit. This 7,400-square-foot exhibit not only lets kids get hands on with rovers they can drive around themselves, it also challenges older learners with bigger questions of how human settlements could govern themselves and how climate concerns can be viewed both from Earth and Mars viewpoints. Add in SpacePlace and the Robot Hall of Fame, and this museum is positively packed with extraorbital fun.

KURA REVOLVING SUSHI BAR

This newly opened restaurant has integrated tech into every part of the dining process, with innovative ordering to snag exactly what sushi plates you want and a simple system that both disposes of empty plates and tabulates your bill at the same time. But the real standout here is Kur-B the Kurabot, a friendly robot that delivers drinks right to your table throughout your dining experience.

SANDBOX VR

Yeah, playing video games is fun. But what if you could enter the game itself? Suit up and get in the game with immersive, full-body VR for you up to five guests as you explore and interact with diverse worlds from fantasy and sci-fi to horror, nautical and more. Work together and conquer zombie hordes or betray your frenemies to survive. Every move is displayed via motion capture, body trackers and haptic suits.

EXPLORING THE TRANQUIL TRAILS, WATERWAYS AND GREEN SPACES OF THIS URBAN OASIS

By Corinne Whiting Freelance Writer

First-time visitors might be surprised to learn about the impressive environmental renaissance that's taken place in the Steel City in recent decades. Amid dozens of distinctive, hilly neighborhoods, green spaces abound. Along the banks of Pittsburgh’s three defining rivers, flat waterside trails offer lovely vantage points to walk or roll your way around town. Simply take a tour of the Carrie Blast Furnaces National Historic Landmark to admire the stark contrast between this destination’s famed industrial past and nature-appreciating present.

Within city limits, the stats dazzle: Pittsburgh boasts 170 parks and 3,800 acres of parkland. In all seasons, locals flock to regional spaces like Emerald View Park, Frick Park, Highland Park, Riverview Park and Schenley Park. “Not only do the parks offer an impressive network of trails,” says Bethany Wells, Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy Marketing Manager, “but guests can also enjoy activities such as biking, swimming, volleyball, tennis, basketball, visiting dog parks, playing on our many playgrounds and more!”

Wells’ favorite urban greenspace? She finds Schenley Park to be truly magical in summertime. “Seeing so many university students and people of all ages enjoying the sunset atop the hill in the meadow, or the tennis courts and soccer fields bustling with life is very heartwarming,” she says.

Sarah Carr, Events & Social Media Manager at Regent Square’s 3 Rivers Outdoor Co. (3ROC)—an independent recreation gear store that doubles as a vibrant hub for the outdoor community—agrees that Pittsburgh and Allegheny County are home to incredible parks with year-round amenities and programming. “As a Regent Square native,” she says, “I have a huge love for Frick Park—with over 30 miles of trails throughout the park, it's a great spot to get out and enjoy nature in any season.” Some other favorites for Carr include: the Rachel Carson Trail—a challenging 45-mile trail that connects Harrison Hill and North Park (two Allegheny County parks), and the Laurel Highlands region, which she finds great fun in any season.

Head to 3ROC to rent gear or meet up with other local outdoor enthusiasts. In addition to their ongoing weekly events, the store hosts seasonal additions ranging from full moon hikes to kayaking workshops. Also check out their rental offerings for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, camping (think tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads) and backpacking (packs, stoves, bear canisters and so on).

Matt Shuck

Over at the 3ROC Outpost in Aspinwall’s Allegheny RiverTrail Park, you’ll also find seasonal paddlesports rentals of kayaks, canoes and stand up paddleboards. In the right months, you can join water events like their Kayak Basics and Lock Through Paddle experiences. In SouthSide Works, REI Pittsburgh is another prime spot to connect with outdoor lovers, load up on appropriate gear and visit their bike shop—inside an eco-friendly store that’s earned a LEED Silver® certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

For more urban explorations, head to The Frick Pittsburgh, where historic museums and gardens— free and accessible year-round—are nestled into 10 acres consisting of walking paths, peaceful gardens and a lush greenhouse. “Frick Park is situated just beyond our grounds and marks a symbolic extension of our site,” says Kristin Garbarino, Director of Marketing & Communications.

“The Frick Pittsburgh’s gardens are an oasis in the East End,” Garbarino adds, “and everyone is welcome to stroll our gardens and greenhouse for free, whether alone or with loved ones. We believe access to nature is important, so everyone can find moments of inspiration and discovery. Visitors can enjoy serene trail-side benches for relaxation or our open lawns for play, picnicking or painting.” Check out their seasonal events like Summer Fridays, a popular concert series, and Frick Winterfest, an annual celebration that enlivens the grounds each January.

IMMERSE YOURSELF

If cycling is your preferred mode of transport, be sure to dedicate time to exploring local trails as well as farther-flung portions of the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP), a non-motorized path that winds 150 miles from Cumberland, Maryland, all the way to Pittsburgh—along a preserved former railroad and gas pipeline right-ofway. “It carries bicyclists and hikers across Pennsylvania’s bucolic Laurel Highlands, through the deep gorges of Ohiopyle State Park, around Pittsburgh’s historic Steel Valley, and into Point State Park,” explains Bryan M. Perry, Executive Director, Great Allegheny Passage Conservancy.

The GAP sees around a million visits annually, and owners of hundreds of small businesses welcome guests to the region and the rich social fabric found in trail communities. The region features expansive vistas, pristine woodlands, wildflower stands and river valleys.

Perry suggests ways to savor the GAP in every season. In snowy months, you can grab cross-country skis or a fat tire bike for a winter workout. In the springtime, he recommends enjoying the redbuds and dogwoods that dot the trail between Point State Park and the Hot Metal Bridge. In summer months, spot paddlers and boaters along the Monongahela River, and pedal to lively festivals and fireworks at Point State Park In the fall? “Arrive on your through-trip from Cumberland and spend the weekend in Pittsburgh at museums and ballgames,” he advises.

Carr sums it up, “Pittsburgh is a great hub for outdoor adventure, and we are fortunate to have some great parks right in our backyard!” She adds that here you can explore possibly more than ever expected—whether done via backpacking, climbing, camping, cycling, trail running, cross country skiing, kayaking or simply hiking around. Happy adventuring!

GOING GREEN IN PITTSBURGH

A PITTSBURGH ITINERARY FOR THE NATURE LOVER

Going green is a lifestyle here in Pittsburgh. In fact, it’s one of the first things visitors mention when they get here.

With abundant natural resources spanning three rivers and rolling hillsides, the city has followed in the footsteps of Pittsburgh native and renowned environmentalist Rachel Carson by reclaiming our beautiful lands and turning them into parks and green spaces for everyone to enjoy.

Follow our quick, two-day itinerary and see how everything from our parks and transportation to museums and restaurants are building a sustainable future.

DAY 1

OUT & ABOUT

Your nature itinerary begins with grand views and historic space at Emerald View Park. Situated high atop Mount Washington, this former mining site has been beautifully reforested and remediated into a 257-acre park complete with an 11-mile network of trails. The scenic overlooks along Grandview Avenue are a top highlight here, best enjoyed by also taking a one-of-a-kind ride down the Monongahela or Duquesne Inclines while you’re there.

See the best of Pittsburgh with a guided tour from Golden Triangle Bike Rental. You’ll become an honorary Pittsburgher as you learn about the city on a two-hour

PHIPPS CONSERVATORY AND BOTANICAL GARDENS

A green oasis in the middle of Pittsburgh, Phipps has provided a world-class garden experience since 1893.

Experience industry-leading sustainable architecture, stunning seasonal flower shows, incredible glass art and more.

Matt Shuck

adventure along beautiful riverfront trails passing by the Southside, Station Square and more iconic locales.

Your bike ride finishes up near Point State Park at the confluence of our three rivers. This National Historic Landmark is steeped in both history (visit the Fort Pitt Museum for more on Pittsburgh’s strategic importance during the French & Indian war) and natural beauty. In the spring, look for the redbuds in bloom adding their signature hue to our riverfronts, and take note of cyclists tackling the Three Rivers Heritage Trail and Great Allegheny Passage

Of course, all this work to beautify our parks and riverfronts would be for nought without ensuring our businesses are sustainable. Make dinner plans at The Porch at Schenley Park, where local sourcing is a key part of ensuring a fresh, flavorful menu. Their must-have braised pork shank features Jubilee Hilltop Ranch pork and Emerick’s maple, both sourced within 100 miles of the city. During summer months, The Porch also uses herbs and honey fresh from their rooftop garden and hives. Their location in Schenley Park is another nature-filled destination with 456 acres of trails and attractions including Phipps Conservatory, Flagstaff Hill, ice skating rink and more.

DAY 2

GOING GREEN

Day two of your journey begins at the Senator John Heinz History Center, the first Smithsonian property to earn a LEED certification. The largest history museum in PA exists in the restored Consolidated Ice Company building, complete with sustainable building materials, rooftop solar panels and energy efficient HVAC.

Six floors of interactive Pittsburgh history await you inside, including the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum, the TV set from Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, a guide through the history of Heinz ketchup and much more.

At 644 acres (about the area of Central Park in New York City), exploring Frick Park’s extensive valleys and slopes is an easy way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city without ever leaving. Start at the incredible gatehouse entrance on Reynolds Street and flock to Clayton Hill for unmatched birdwatching. Kids will love sliding down the hillside at beloved Blue Slide Playground, and adults can stay active too at pickleball courts, public clay tennis courts and lawn bowling green. Opened in 2016, the LEED Platinum Frick Environmental Center welcomes and engages visitors to learn more about the park.

If you’re vegan, a pizzeria is usually one of the hardest places to find a meal. At Spak Brothers, they pride themselves on providing a classic take-out pizzeria experience with plenty of vegan options, including wings, cheesy breadsticks, calzones and the ability to make any pizza vegan with no casein cheese, unbleached flour and no refined sugars.

Flex your creative muscles at Pittsburgh Glass Center, a cutting-edge glass studio and community hub that also has the distinction of being the first LEED-certified Public Arts Facility. Their studio is the perfect place for a night out, with date night and make-it-now events allowing beginners to create their own glass art. While you’re there, be sure to tour their rotating exhibit space featuring top glass artists from around the world.

MORE THAN JUST BALLPARK FOOD

In Pittsburgh, the aroma of delicious game-day eats is as thick as the love for the game .

Almost any (and every) game around here comes with the scent of sizzling Primanti Bros. sandwiches lingering in the air. The sandwiches are hefty—a meal and a half each. And they are as delicious as it gets—tangy coleslaw, crunchy fries, grilled meat and all the cheese sandwiched between in the softest Italian bread. While on the topic of signature Pittsburgh eats, if there’s one food that defines the city, it’s…yes, you guessed it right…pierogies, a nod to our Eastern European roots. Of course, our ballpark food includes these delicious pockets of joy, filled to the gill with potatoes and cheese, cabbage or spiced meats.

PPG Paints Arena takes it a step ahead with concessions and offers standouts like fresh sushi from Nakama, and thick, divine milkshakes and burgers from Burgatory.

Acrisure Stadium also levels up when it comes to game day eats—some local favorites include Franco’s Pizzeria (by the legendary Franco Harris), Quaker Steak & Lube and craft cocktails by Wigle Whiskey.

Over at PNC Park, imagine digging into a delicious smoked pork by Manny’s Barbeque (named after Manny Sanguillen, former Pirates catcher)—talk about a grand slam! Papa Duke’s gyros offer a yummy alternative made with fresh ingredients.

THE LIVING HISTORY INSIDER TIPS:

Pittsburgh's sports history isn't just confined to the stadiums; it's preserved in its museums and experiences.

The Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum at the Heinz History Center is a treasure trove of memorabilia, chronicling the city's sports evolution. Highmark SportsWorks at the Carnegie Science Center lets you throw a pass or take a slapshot, bringing the science of sports to life, making it a must-visit for fans of all ages.

But it's the smaller spots like the Roberto Clemente Museum that breathe life into the legends, paying homage to the legendary Pirates player, providing an intimate glimpse into his life and contributions to the game. There are other local spots too—like the Mario Lemieux statue outside PPG Paints Arena—a silent sentinel reminding us of Penguins' greatness.

Plan your visit during a Pittsburgh sports weekend to soak in the full atmosphere.

Utilize Pittsburgh's light rail, the "T," for seamless transportation.

Consider a ferry from Station Square aboard the Gateway Clipper Fleet for a distinctive Pittsburgh game day experience.

As for memorabilia, Yinzers in the Burgh is a treasure trove; pick up a piece of history, maybe a signed Franco Harris jersey.

PITTSBURGH SPORTS ARE BEST PAIRED WITH GOOD PEOPLE, GREAT BEER AND AUTHENTIC PITTSBURGH FARE.

Did you even really visit Pittsburgh if you didn’t have an iconic Almost Famous Sandwich from Primanti Bros.? Piled high with your choice of meat, cheese, french fries, coleslaw and tomatoes stacked between two thick slices of bread, trust us, you need it. It’s the perfect way to avoid a post-game day slump.

In search of something a little more balanced? You’ll find Pittsburgh Salads on menus across the city. While many restaurants might put their own personal spin on the staple, the common denominator is topping it with french fries in place of croutons.

Some surrounding states will try to claim pepperoni rolls as their creation, but they’ve been a Pittsburgh staple since the 1900s when they became popular as a means to feed hungry coal miners. Now, they’re a great way to add a ton of flavor to your game day gathering. You can find the classic at numerous bakeries across our 90 neighborhoods, but Sunseri's Atomic Pepperoni Rolls takes the gold every time in our book. Don’t forget to ask for their homemade marinara for dipping!

SECURE YOUR TERRIBLE TOWEL IN HAND AND SPORT YOUR BEST BLACK & GOLD.

Yinzers in the Burgh offers the largest selection of Steelers, Pirates and Penguins licensed apparel, hats, novelties, memorabilia and other local souvenirs, all in one convenient location in the heart of the Strip District.

Rally House not only has Steelers, Pirates and Penguins merch, but also Pitt Panthers gear as well as exclusive apparel from Primanti Bros., Isalys and more.

Both PNC Park and Acrisure Stadium have Pro Shops that the general public can shop at for everything from jerseys and tees to caps, drinkware, kids and more.

I.C. Light embodies all things black and gold. Pittsburgh Brewing Co. brews a variety of other options as well from flavorful spins on a classic like I.C. Mango and the full-bodied original Iron City Beer to innovative new craft offerings. Pittsburgh’s oldest brewery is also one of its newest, with a new state-of-the-art brewing facility just 20 miles north of where the three rivers meet.

Every seasoned Steelers tailgater knows that the perfect game day cooler isn’t complete without Turner’s Iced Tea. Celebrating 50 years, one sip of a Turner's product is enough to turn anyone into a lifelong fan.

Bypass the parking lot to pregame from the comfort of a stool at Mike’s Beer Bar or North Shore Tavern, with more than 500 beers and 80 local taps and famously known for Steak on a Stone. Whether you choose to sit in the restaurant or the bar, you’ll find a great atmosphere perfect for before, during and after the game!

BEYOND THE GAMES, THERE ARE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO GET YOUR FILL OF PITTSBURGH FOOTBALL HISTORY.

Relive 90 years of Steelers history with interactive exhibits at the Steelers Hall of Honor Museum

A CULINARY DELIGHT

Pittsburgh has seen a surge in pickle popularity, with local restaurants and food trucks offering a variety of pickle-centric dishes. From classic dill pickles to gourmet pickle-infused snacks, the city has become a pickle paradise for enthusiasts.

PITTSBURGH IS PICKLESBURGH

The pinnacle of Pittsburgh's pickle passion is undeniably the annual Picklesburgh festival. Picklesburgh is a dill-icious weekend in Downtown Pittsburgh dedicated to the humble pickle.

PICKLEBALL FEVER

GRIPS PITTSBURGH

While the pickle culinary scene is flourishing, there's another pickle-related trend that has captured the attention of Pittsburgh—pickleball. This paddle sport, a hybrid of tennis, badminton and table tennis, has been gaining popularity across the nation, and Pittsburgh is no exception.

For pickleball enthusiasts, Pittsburgh offers a plethora of local courts.

WORK FROM HERE, THERE, ANYWHERE

Pittsburgh is a city of multitudes with 90 unique neighborhoods full of history and culture to explore. With a map in hand, you could work from a new neighborhood each day and experience the differences and charm that make each one wonderful.

In the old days, the bar was where you went to relax after a long workday. In Pittsburgh, you can combine the two. Consider holding an off-site meeting at storied Pittsburgh breweries. Some of the best breweries to relax with your laptop and team include Grist House, Cinderlands and Dancing Gnome. Plus, some breweries like Trace Brewing and Aslin Beer Co. also double as coffee shops during the day.

Speaking of, there are plenty of buzzing coffee shops throughout the city to station yourself and get some work done, like Espresso A Mano in Lawrenceville, Commonplace Coffee in the Northside and De Fer Coffee & Tea in the Strip.

Looking for a place to catch up on emails with a spectacular urban view? Find a spot at one of our scenic squares dotting our neighborhoods. Market Square puts you right in the heart of Downtown where you'll be surrounded by markets and dining all located on a pedestrian-friendly, historic square. From here, you're also a one-minute walk from PPG Place, with towering skyscrapers and a lively fountain to keep you entertained as Downtown workers pass by. Plus, Wi-Fi is free anywhere Downtown.

Snag a bench in Station Square's Bessemer Court for views of the river and city skyline, or head to Bakery Square in East Liberty for upscale, open-air shopping and dining as well as Google and Sheetz offices in the old factory-turned-tech-hub.

Other popular outdoor retail locations to sit and enjoy the city include The Terminal in the Strip District, SouthSide Works and The Waterfront

Head up to our rooftops throughout the city to find relaxing lounges, terraces and bars with great views. Watch bikers zip over bridges and through the Southside at Eliza Hot Metal Bistro, watch convention and business foot traffic from Level 7 or head to Over Eden and watch the sunset over the city from your cozy Lawrenceville spot.

From hidden oases to sprawling spaces, Pittsburgh parks make a fitting backdrop for the bleisure traveler. At Frick Park in Point Breeze, look around you to discover more than 100 species of birds. Or, venture to August Wilson Park, one of Pittsburgh's newest additions, in the Hill District for a unique view of the city surrounded by local art and quotes from its namesake.

The fountain at Highland Park is easy to spend a day at while you click and type, but we also recommend heading to Schenley Park with a blanket for a sunny afternoon in Oakland's green paradise.

If you really need a proper office space, we have you covered with a variety of coworking spaces available to help you take that important meeting that just popped up on your schedule without anyone knowing you're gone.

You can book hourly meeting space, day passes or monthly office and desk space (for our extended hush trip takers) at the stunning OneValley in Hazelwood Green, Spaces - Bakery Square, Code & Supply in Friendship, Industrious at Liberty Center and ExpansiveGolden Triangle in the Cultural District, Alloy 26 and Fulton Commons on the Northside.
