What’s happening in the ‘Burgh?

If you haven’t been in town for a few years, you will find many new sights and opportunities.

Browse www.visitpittsburgh.com for directions, schedules and phone numbers to all of the suggested activities below and hundreds more.

  • Feel like riding a Gateway Clipper Fleet paddlewheel boat? Or maybe you’d like to tour the city on a WWII amphibious vehicle or a Molly’s Trolley. For the more energetic, how about touring the city on a Segway, visiting city and county parks, or perhaps enjoying the breath taking view of the city after riding the Duquesne or Station Square incline.
  • Weeks would be required to visit all of Pittsburgh's museums. There are 4 Carnegie Museums; the Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural History, both in Oakland, the Science Center and The Andy Warhol Museum, both on the north shore. The Frick Art and Historical Center is located in Point Breeze. The Rivers of Steel National Heritage area in Homestead shows us how our ancestors made Pittsburgh famous.
