Things to Do in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh has been named one of the best places in the world to visit, over and over again.
We invite you to come and find out why! There are so many fun, family-oriented attractions that it will take you several trips to experience them all. If you're a history buff, you can step back into the past at one of the region's many history museums. If your passion is visual or performing arts (or both!) you will be astounded by the amount of theaters, galleries, museums and public art installations in our city. And you can't forget The Andy Warhol Museum, home to the largest collection of Warhol art and archives in the world. To get an excellent overview the city, take the double decker hop on/hop off bus with a stop just across the street from the hotel.
There are so many ways to tour and sightsee around the city of Pittsburgh. You can take a tour by bike, trolley, boat, bus or Segway, or go old fashioned and explore on your own two feet. Learn about the culture of Pittsburgh though food, shopping, and exploring the 90+ neighborhoods that make up our city. If you're a sports fan, you will love the City of Champions. Pittsburgh is home to three professional teams (the Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates) as well as numerous NCAA® Division I and II sports teams, and you will never find more devoted fans than Pittsburghers!
