Home to world-class performances, champion sports teams and award- winning dining, downtown Pittsburgh offers a perfect spot for a fun day or night out on the town. It’s also a breathtaking place to explore the great outdoors, with kayaking, boating, and riverfront trails that offer unparalleled scenic vistas. Visitors, impressed by ever-friendly Pittsburghers, greenspaces and safe streets, find that Downtown offers something to everyone who ventures into its “Golden Triangle.”
For a tour of town, consider climbing aboard a WWII amphibious vehicle with Just Ducky Tours to roam both the streets and rivers, or join a historic walking tour with Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation. Visitors can charter a trolley (think: Mr. Rogers, also a Pittsburgher) or tour the city by bike, an exceptional and green way to see the sights. The Riverfront Trails are hard to beat and offer direct access to urban biking, boating, kayaking, fishing, and scenic walks. Find out more about trails, bike racks, and the ins and outs of biking in Pittsburgh at Bike Pittsburgh. Download your downtown map here: and search places to go here.
