The 50 best views in Pittsburgh

A hidden gem, never crowded, always chill. Lesser known than Grandview on Mt Washington, but my preferred view of downtown Pittsburgh and the rivers.

Spectacular views and a clean facility overall! Parking is a little scarce, but otherwise a great place to see the entire city and suburbs!!

I walk up here a bunch every winter. I swear walking is only comfy when its under 32 midday.

Beautiful park with a perfect view of the city & a great location to watch the 4th fireworks display. Especially if you don't like loud booms that come with them.

The scenery here is really nice, but every time I come in the afternoon or evening, it’s such a hassle to find a parking spot.

This park has great views of downtown Pittsburgh and the rivers, bridges and buildings it has. It’s a little hard to find and the streets are very steep leading up to it, but it’s worth a visit. My only wish is that the foliage was cut down a bit more so the views are even better, but they’re still great regardless.

What a view. Also a place to walk around or just rest and take in the scenery.

Great place to see the rivers from the Ohio River. There are no guardrails to protect you from falling into the rivers. Very windy, so securing your personals is a must. There are shaded walkways to enjoy some botanical insight and learn about the local vegetation. Great place to run, jog or bike. Security makes there rounds frequently. Nice open space to play it have a picnic, but can be very crowded. You can hear and see the stadium from the point.

It’s beautiful, I really like the botanical garden and the area next to the university. The park feels very relaxing. But right now there’s a lot of road construction, so GPS doesn’t really help. For tourists like us, it’s not very friendly—we’re just wandering around trying to find our way.

I was pretty disappointed that the fountain wasn't working on our visit(Monday, May 19). But, it's still an absolutely stunning area to soak up all the great views of Pittsburgh.

Point State Park is one of those rare places that captures the entire soul of a city. Where the three rivers meet, you can feel the energy of Pittsburgh — steel roots, modern skyline, and endless water reflections that look straight out of a postcard. Whether you’re catching the fountain mist on a summer evening, watching boats glide by, or taking in the golden bridges from every angle, it’s pure magic. The park is clean, peaceful, and perfectly blends urban life with nature’s calm. If you want to understand Pittsburgh, start here — the Point is the point.

Great walk to this park. Pretty amazing views and while going there you can go through the market or do the river walk. Both are amazing. Must do if you are in Pittsburgh.

This is a well maintained park that offers great walking trails and sites of historical importance. One can walk up to the end of the park, which is the point, and see forks of the Ohio where the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers converge. This area was contested by French, Indigenous, Pennsylvania, and Virginia that culminated in the actions that led to the Seven Year's War. The outline of Fort Duquesne and the Fort Pitt Museum offer much information for those who love the historic significance of this area. the pathways offer views through vegetation as well as of the rivers. I recommend running, jogging, and walking around 9:00 in the morning at this time of year. This is a must see destination for those in the Pittsburgh area.

Great views, historic location. Start (or conclusion) point for an epic bicycling adventure. Feels like the heart of Pittsburgh. Check it out!

Amazing park, everything is within walkable distance even though it looks like it's a huge park but once you're there, you would love to explore. Didn't find much elevation either. Definitely a must visit. Parking - park your car either across on Schenley Drive opposite Phipps Botanical garden (better location) OR across Anderson Playground. Some of the trails are not that great, so bring your most comfy shoes if going to trails. There are lots of benches to sit on near the fountain as well as near Phipps. There is an American restaurant called "The Porch" as well as an Ice cream/milkshake place and Omar's halal grill near the Catherdral of Learning.

Great hiking spot in the middle of the city! Schenley Park has beautiful trails, peaceful nature, and nice views. Easy to access from Pitt, and perfect for a walk, jog, or just relaxing outdoors. Highly recommend if you’re in Pittsburgh!

Very nicely wooded! I came through for a trail run and was amazed by the intricacy of the routes within this entire park. Great for a scenic walk or a long run. There's a nice viewpoint on a large hill near the observatory and university campus!

Excellent staff, variety of plants, lots of activities for kids. Lovely. Just go when it's cooler weather!

New things to see. If you never been there it can be a little confusing. But lots of trails and nature to see...

Great park! Well maintained fields and courts, perfect for soccer, pickleball and more. The atmosphere is always fun and welcoming. A great place to play, relax, and enjoy the day. Highly recommend!

Lovely place to spend calm and relaxing time with pretty views

The Grand Concourse has been one of my favorite places to visit for over three decades. I haven't visited in two years, and there are many changes. The food was delicious, but the portions were smaller. The prices have gone up, they changed the bread service to mini sour doughs, and the Martha vineyard salad is no longer on the menu. I believe they are using a different coffee as well. The dessert options have also changed. The chocolate lava cake was a treat. The setting remains beautiful, but we were seated in an area that was abnormally loud. We were a small table of two placed behind a large, full round table. It made conversation difficult. I've never encountered this issue in the main dining area as seats there are spaced more reasonably. I still enjoy dining here, but I would probably choose a Monday - Thursday to enjoy the prix fixe, or dine later to be seated in the main dining area.

We just went to Station Square to kill some time. It was beautiful going on the incline and looking out over the city. There were some really good restaurants to choose from and plenty to see. We really enjoyed the fountain that played to the beat of music. My only complaint is that there really weren't any great gift shops around that area.

Nice, clean attraction. Great spot for pictures. The river is just stunning. Nice selection of restaurants also.

Unfortunately, closed due to construction but shuttle bus service is easily accessible.

I love Station Square and even with the businesses closing there, the place has potential. They need a place like the Funny Bone to move back in. Love all the businesses they have though.

We just love Station Square! Everything about it! Our fave places to eat are The Grand Concourse, The Melting Pot and Texas de Brazil. Our kids are Hard Rock fans! Whether you are taking in the sights from the Riverwalk or noshing on yummy food, this place is a great place to be. Fountains, historic pieces, skyscrapers, boats…the city has my heart! Be sure to schedule a trip!

Station Square is an amazing place to walk and people watch. It has the highly eclectic mix of restaurants and little boutiques. You can see the river views amazingly here. I had a great time and I found the place to be very transgender friendly. Since I am a transgender woman myself.. Take some time walk around and sit a spell!

PNC Park is hands down one of the best ballparks in the country! Getting there is incredibly easy – it’s just a short walk from downtown Pittsburgh, and the area around the stadium is very walkable. Entry into the park was smooth and hassle-free, which made the whole experience even better. The ballpark itself is beautiful with plenty of concessions available throughout. As expected at a major league park, food and drinks are on the pricey side, but the variety of options makes it worth it. The views are absolutely spectacular – you get an amazing backdrop of downtown Pittsburgh and the river, which adds so much to the game-day atmosphere. Even if your seats aren’t the best, PNC Park has plenty of areas to move around and take in different perspectives of the game. From the outfield concourses to open standing areas, every angle seems to offer a great view. Overall, the combination of easy access, great amenities, and one-of-a-kind views make PNC Park a must-visit for any baseball fan or visitor to Pittsburgh.

The stadium has good history, atmosphere. Easy to walk to from nearby hotels. Very clean, staff friendly and accommodating. This was the only stadium that the usher wiped down my seat so far. We've been to several. Nice area, worth the trip. It was kind of confusing to walk around inside the stadium to check it out. Before we sat in our seats.

This is my favorite ball park. We travel the country just to see baseball stadiums. This is a great place. The view... the people. MLB has to do a better job with the food but the prices are below average and if you go when the gates open drinks were on happy hour prices. The ushers were great. This is the one ballpark that you want to sit higher up on the first base line so you have a great view. Normally I like to sit as close as I can to the field but the view is worth the sacrifice and the tickets are way cheaper. Take in as many games as you can while you're there.

Calling yourself the Best Ballpark in America takes some big ones. Being an SF Giants fan, I might have to disagree. I attended a Sunday afternoon game here, was a rather warm day, but my seats were soon in the shade and I was able to enjoy the rest of the game. The views are quite stunning, it’s a perfectly situated ballpark. My only complaint was that the concessions weren’t as special as the park.

The best baseball views in the country. The concourses are open and have lots of food and drinks available. Large bathrooms, easy to find seating. The exterior has lots of foor and bar options and the walk over the Clemente bridge makes for a great outing.

Best ballpark in the world with the best view of Pittsburgh! The employees are all very friendly- everyone at security, to the elevator operators or the vendors all make you feel immediately welcomed and seem very proud to work there. Be prepared to pay a lot for parking which is anywhere from $25-$40 on game day. The lots fill up quickly, so be prepared for a walk from the parking lots or garages surrounding the stadium. Food prices are also outrageous but there’s a lot of choices. I ordered the a slice of “world-famous” Caliente pizza which was huge and equivalent to two slices and cost $12 a slice. It was very good and also very greasy! All in all, if you’re a baseball fan, add this ballpark on your list to visit…you won’t be disappointed!

This is a beautiful park. It's clean and the staff were all friendly. Even the fans were kind and helpful. The surrounding area is nice and felt safe both before and after the game. There are a lot of great eateries and attractions around the stadium. The whole package makes for a great experience.

42 story Gothic building towers over all other university buildings. For gothic lovers this is a must see. If you are visiting the Nationality Rooms, they are located on the 1st and 3rd floors and only accessible between 9AM - 3PM when the Uni is in session.

If you are visiting Pittsburgh this place is must to see. Nice architecture, like from Harry Potter movies. Inside Nationality rooms which you can see with or without guide (I think $5 for). Around the holidays the rooms are decorated according to nation's customs. You will enjoy it!

An other world experience. Anyone interested in history or education will find this a fascinating visit. The architecture is stunning and the details in the stone work are unbelievable. Not a church, not a library, not a coffee shop, not a used book store and not a museum; but rather the best little bits if all those venues.

Such a cool place. Makes me want to be a student here. My favorite part, besides The beautiful architect in the main room that made me feel like I was at Hogwarts, we're the classrooms. Each one is the theme of a different country. Definitely worth the trip!

This is a MUST SEE if you’re in Pittsburgh. I never get bored when I visit this place and can go a couple more times. The structure of it is magnificent both inside and outside. It has different country themed classes with audio description, music and you can even smell the difference in the rooms. It’s open to public on Saturdays. They close some classrooms at 2:30 and the rests are open till 4pm. So make sure you choose a time accordingly. And fon’t forget to charge your phone beforehand.

You will spend several hours here. Such a cool place to explore. Part library, part college campus, and upstairs they have different classrooms representing different countries. It's like Epcot, but for classrooms. Totally worth the trip!

This was a beautiful place to walk around and learn about different countries. We took the self guided tour with an electronic tour guide and key hanging from a lanyard. The speakers on these lanyards provide enough volume for the individual using it. If you are in a group, it's annoying to hear more than two of these recordings playing at once. We definitely didn't give ourselves enough time to look around. It will take a good couple hours to walk through all rooms on the first floor. The rooms on the 3rd floor are modernized and have switches in each one that one turned on will give a history about the room. This is better because it comes out of a speaker that place throughout the entire room. This visit was so worth it!

One of the must do attractions in Pittsburgh. Paid parking is available at the lower station. You need to pay cash for tickets. 5$ per adult. Kids below 5 rides free. The carriage travel was quick and took us to the upper station. View is amazing from the top. There is a small working museum on how the incline works if you are interested. Overall took us less than 1hr

This sorta feels like one of those things you need to do when you go to Pittsburgh. Parking is in the huge dirt surface lot on the street below. It’s $10 for 24 hours there didn’t seem to be another option. The incline itself is $5 per person, cash only. If you don’t have cash they’ll give you an IOU. There’s an ATM at the top, you can give them your money when you come back down. There’s lift is a little rickety but you get great views on the 2-3 minute ride up. At the top there’s a small gift shop but you’re probably coming for the views. They’re worth the price of admission alone. We went near dusk so there wasn’t a line or many people waiting to take pics. There’s probably other stuff to do up there but it was cold and windy, so we snapped pics and left. Parking price aside, totally worth it.

A lovely experience...an absolute must while in the Pittsburgh area. Paid parking lot close to the lower level and free (or paid) street parking near the upper level. There is also a bus that runs near the lower level along Lincoln Highway. The incline costs $2.50 each way for adults and $1.25 for children. Cash only...exact change. Children under 5 are free. The last ride is at 12:40am. The ride itself is a lovely experience offering some amazing views of downtown Pittsburgh. The views from the top at the viewing platform are even more amazing...definitely a great spots for photos. Once you get to the top, there are some exhibits within the station. There is also a staircase and walkway which allows you to see the gears and cables pulling the car up the hill...quite fascinating. There is also a small gift shop there.

I lived in Pittsburgh few years ago, I was just visiting the River side casino, every time I been to the casino, this incline always draw my attention. I was always curious about the view from the top. Finally after 12 years, I decided to visit incline, the experience was amazing, it only cost $2.50 one way. When I reached top of the hill, the view of the Pittsburgh downtown was breathtaking. I never thought that the entire expedition would be lifelong memory. I highly suggest you visit this place. Just don’t forget the cash since they don’t accept any cards. It is cash only place and the ATM on the top of the incline charges &$4.00 for cash withdrawal. So, it is better to have $5.00 per person cash.

Visited Pittsburgh for the Steelers VS Browns game (tore em up) and was advised to check out this incline. It was somewhere between O and K. Nothing to call home about unless you’re into waiting 45 mins for a 3 min ride to the top of the incline. Granted, it’s only a $5 round trip per person but this place needs some efficiency. If you are going for the views, I recommend just parking at the top of the incline and getting your photos that way. Cool for you history buffs though

One of Pittsburgh’s must-visit tourist attractions is the Duquesne Incline. The incline cars almost run continuously, resulting in minimal wait times. A round trip ticket costs $5, and each car can accommodate approximately 18 people. At the top station, there’s a gift shop and a self-guided museum that explains how the incline system works. But the most important part is the breathtaking view of Pittsburgh from the top observation deck. There is a parking lot in front of the incline station across the road. It costs 8$ for 2 hours. See photos and videos attached for latest details.

The Duquesne Incline offered great views of the city and a unique experience on train car going up at a 45 degree angle. However, it was quite crowded on the incline and at the overlook at the top. We actually preferred the Monongahela Incline which had no crowds on the incline or at the overlook and a short walk to a neighborhood diner for breakfast.

An interesting, rather unexpected feature I encountered biking along the Three Rivers Heritage Trail, on the Monongahela side. This is essentially urban graffiti, but of a more "artistic" sort (along with other graffiti).

Great place for a walk or bike along the river. The scenery of the city is beautiful and the colors from the artists leaving their mark along the path adds to the scene! There is also a very nice brewery right by The Color Park. The trail going through the park is the Three Rivers Heritage trail which goes on for a while. You can rent bikes here next to the park to bike along the trail or walk. The park is usually kept clean. Please do your part and don't litter here. Let's keep this place looking awesome!

Its a great place for High School Senior Portraits with a decent view of the city. As the sun went down, it didn't feel safe. There is a bike/running path that passes through the area which is nice.

I’m extremely disappointed about this place. I thought I’d be a lot cooler than what it was. The way everybody talked it’s a cool place. Extremely disappointed. here are my disappointing pictures. Don’t waste your time! It’s not cool! There’s all kinds of bad words! It’s not really place for little kids! It needles laying around!!

Nice place to park and get on the bike trail free parking, Rent ebikes there, access all north shore, strip, point state park , no parking fee , went shopping and ate lunch, beautiful day in Pittsburgh, brewery by color park, free parking

This scenic park has great walking and biking facilities. And you can see the Pittsburgh skyline and bridges. That's too good. And Parking is free too 🙌

Not as big or cool as I was expecting. But if you stop by might as well check it out walk and see the sights and check out to r bar near by. It looks really nice.

If you like reading and stopping at every display, you should plan to spend more than one full day here. As two nerds from out of state, my husband and I loved every moment here. The dinosaurs were like nothing we've seen before and the geology exhibit was super cool. I loved that there were placards near exhibits that are now considered out of date in some way (native American culture and the fossil fuel areas, for example). This is easily one of the best museums I've ever visited. This museum was so captivating that we came back for a second day, only to find out it was closed all day due to a private event. I wish there had been signage or staff letting us know :( Hence the four star review.

Excellent experience wear some comfortable shoes dress light. Lots of walking and they do have an elevator for ones in wheelchairs or strollers. Once you park in the garage the museum is on level 6 the elevator is a long wait but worth it. You can not leave the parking garage with cash they only take credit cards. Minimum is $10.00. Went today Saturday collage kids everywhere. Enjoy

This is a great experience for those who not only love natural history, but also love the architecture of the gilded age! The natural history exhibits are informative, but not exhausting, giving enough information about scientific discoveries and processes without boring the public. The dinosaurs are some of their most impressive displays, showcasing a variety of species including the famous tyrannosaurus rex, to which this one is the holotype specimen, meaning that it is the first to be recognized as a tyrannosaurus and the gold standard that others use to compare other specimens. The mammal exhibits detail natural life from all around the world, and many of course highlight the local wildlife (western Pennsylvania and specifically the laurel highlands). The bug exhibit was also an impressive collection. The only complaint that I had was that the art museum and the natural history museum were difficult to navigate, though their collections were also impressive despite the Ancient Egyptian exhibits being closed. The gems and minerals were also one of the most elaborate displays of them that I have seen with the exception being the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Overall, this is a great museum for those who want to learn about natural history in the local region as well as around the world.

Fantastic, magical day the Natural History Museum. Some of the absolute best dinosaur displays Ive seen. Breathtaking exhibit. Also an incredible Bird Hall. The Hall of American and African Animals is also fantastic. We were very excited to see the Egyptian Exhibit, but it was sadly closed. The section with gems and minerals to enormous and had we had more than a day to do the museum we would have spent more time exploring that as well. There is a cafe in the basement that had a nice selection of hot and cold items. The store was really comprehensive. Parking was very expensive which seemed excessive given its on top of the cost of getting into the museum. But overall it was worth it. If you take the elevator mind the note inside the elevator that tells you what floor to use for the Museum. Of note, one ticket gets you into BOTH the Museum of Natural History and the Art Museum and both are under the same roof. You can explore each one and the stores are very close to each other.

If you have a chance to go to the Haunted Museum event they hold around Halloween, I highly recommend going!!! It was so fun. They had trivia and photo ops and you could add on food and drinks. It was so fun, and costumes are allowed as long as you follow guidelines. Event is 21+

Amazing museum where you can spend the whole afternoon! We absolutely loved the Polar life/Indian tribe section, wildlife dioramas, the Dino display, the hall of minerals (don't miss this one!!!) and the sculpture hall. Everyone from the staff is very friendly and helpful.

We visited today because my husband wanted to show me where he spent time as a kid. He spent many hours roaming the halls and visiting the displays whilst a family member took classes. There have been many changes since then, and although it's an impressive place he felt that much of the room that used to be natural history has been overtaken by the museum of art and feels we've lost out because of it. I did enjoy the dinosaur exhibit and the minerals and gems. I had looked forward to seeing some of Egypt, but that was closed.

In town to work, and was able to get a little workout in. I love visiting new parks. This one did not disappoint. Beautiful landscape, disc golf course, tennis courts, awesome kids, playgrounds, beautiful landscape, with the typical Pittsburgh Hills to roll through. I definitely recommend.

Beautiful park with long trails and sidewalks.

Beautiful park. This is only a small part of it, as the park stretches for what seems like miles. There is a disk golf course at this location. Be sure to mind the geese. Great view of the city and surrounding area. There are the occasional park benches, and a kids playground at this location.

Visited for Vintage Grand Prix. Great event. Great location.

Nice view up the city with a large green space .

Its a nice park in the centre of the city where kids can take swing and slides with a good view of the city

Very nice view not busy, loved it

We went to a fundraiser for Best Buddies and had a good time. The speakers were awesome the student Buddies did a great job.

I use the small business development center on campus. It is an invaluable resource

It was nice being on campus. Everyone was hospitable

Parking is available. The buildings are nice but drab. The view towards the river is beautiful. Very nice location to visit if you are interested in their programs. Good

A good university to get a degree plus being in downtown Pittsburgh is nice to get around.

Nice campus full of activity and students. It is on a hill so be prepared because it's a lot of uphill travel. Don't worry you will get used to it and it is great exercise if you're going to be there. Close to downtown and Oakland social activities. Bus travel is great to go both places.

My son goes here. It’s a beautiful campus. My son loves it. He doesn’t say anything negative about it. I give it 4 stars because of the housing/dorms. The University tells “pay early in advance” and you can pick where you want to dorm. We did that (months in advance). They constantly send you emails, texts and mail stating deadlines so that you have first dibs at housing. That is FALSE information. They want your money basically.. My son was surprised as well as he was excited to pick the dorm he wanted for his freshman year only to find out that the campus picked it out for him. Now he picked the dormitory that has its own kitchen and bathroom and was telling his friends and family how cool it’s gonna be for his sophomore year. FALSE INFO! It’s a lottery they say and of course he didn’t get that one either. I was extremely heartbroken for him as he is far from home, made the Dean’s list and just plain old great student. I really only want to give this 1 star cause how dishonest they are with housing. I do like the campus, food and other aspects of it and of course my son likes it too and that is why I chose not to give it only one. I pray that this will change.

For someone who travels it all the time it might be ok. Crossed over from Carson Street with no problem but coming back was too confusing.

Great pedestrian walking strip across the bridge. It's at least 3 people wide so you don't feel scared or claustrophobic walking across the bridge. Terrific views of the river & city & it's especially beautiful at night when the city is lit up.

West End Bridge, is great. I live nearby. I can access the whole city from it. 376 east and west, 279 north and south, North Shore, Downtown, 65, 51, North Side, and South Side. Traffic flows well, even at rush hour. Speaking of rush hour, let's all try to be considerate. If we are considerate, traffic will flow even better. Peace!

I love going to the rainforest Cafe in Atlantic city's . Always great food and happy severs.

Nice view of the city from the bridge between the Ohio Monongahela and Allegheny especially at night time

If you're a photographer shooting sunrise photography, this is the place to go for beautiful shots of the city. try it in the summertime, or a very peaceful day and you'll get nice shots with calm water. watch out for cars and trucks passing by, because your camera will shake for long exposures

West End bridge in Pittsburgh is pretty decent overall. Road quality is pretty good. If you are going or coming to the West End part of town across the bridge I would drop my rating to 3 stars. The traffic patterns of the "West End Circle" are not terrible but far from the best road design. It works fine but is a bit convoluted to be honest. Bridge was completely rehabbed probably 20 years ago so your not in danger of going into the Ohio river! Lol..😁

Gorgeous view! I just love the Smithfield Street Bridge! Such a beautiful architecturally designed piece leading to the city! Golden color, colorful flower baskets and an amazing view! Info of being historic on a plate on the bridge. Cool to see! *wheelchair accessible entrance

Awesome bridge. It's illuminated at night.

Gorgeous bridge with an incredible view of the entire city. Personally, though, I think it should have congestion tolls to fund the Pittsburgh Light Rail.

Below the north side of the bridge I found what is to be seen on the photo attached. It does not fit to the claims of the city. Hopefully, situation has improved meanwhile. I feel sorry for the poor people who live there.

Amazing historical bridge 🌉!!!! Love it !!

Great place with a beautiful view of the city. The bridge can lead to downtown or station square. At the end there are bus lanes and trolley tracks as well

Riding the rivers with my beautiful fiance!!😘😘😘

The view from the top, at the entrance, is beautiful. Although you'll definitely get better views from the outlooks on Grandview Ave. There are a couple of picnic tables here. That's pretty much where the nice things end. At the moment the Grandview trail is closed in one long section so you can't hike all of it and the other trails are maintained but entire sections are littered with glass (I'm lucky my dog has very rough paw pads) and there are parts with poison ivy at ankle height. They are not very fun to walk honestly and there are better choices in Pittsburgh for sure. Obviously the noises from the highways are loud but that's to be expected considering the location. There are no real views from the trails I've walked. During the week it is very calm and you'll encounter mostly people jogging or walking their dogs. Parking is on the street. There is a portable toilet near the band stand that was clean. I'm an avid hiker but I also love nice city parks and unfortunately this is not one of those.

Received wonderful help from the ranger. She gave us helpful directions on which trails to traverse to get down to the Monagahela River. My wife and I are grateful for her assistance.

Great little spot that’s off the path from the normal tourist viewing spots. Could use some updating but very quiet and pleasant.

CitiParks put on a very nice 4th of July celebration in the park. Food trucks Street Fries & BottelRockets. Music by varous artists & ending with Billy Price. Great fireworks! What a view!

This is such a lovely park and it’s perfect for walking, has trails for hiking, and tables for group activities. They often host movies in the park or other events here as well. The view is a must see especially if you want something a little bit greener than the overlooks in Mt Washington.

Nice view of Pittsburgh! Some walking trails worth exploring. This summer there’s a yoga class meeting there on Sundays at 12:30p.

Its so beautiful greatest for walking your dog or taking a scenic photo of the city. Probably also one of the cleanest parks ive visited! Will definitely be back

It's a nice little park and the high line itself has a wonderful view! It's dog friendly which is important to me, and sly fox brewing is a really great spot for food as well as beers.

Avoid at all costs. FBE Consulting is an absolute scam. I recently attended their “Pittsburgh Haunt on the Highline” event, and it was a complete disaster. They blatantly overcharged attendees for a low-quality experience, falsely advertising VIP perks that were never delivered. I’ve reached out multiple times for resolution and have been completely ignored—zero accountability, zero professionalism. This company exploits customers with misleading promotions and delivers nothing close to what’s promised. Do not waste your time or money. FBE Consulting should be ashamed of their unethical business practices and the way they take advantage of people.

A work in progress. Modeled after NYC counterpart, Highline Pittsburgh is enroute to becoming an elevated park between two terminal buildings. With bike trails, art, plants sitting in steel pieces designed to purposely rust, the Highline is destined to become a place to unwind, rest on a wooden bench, and enjoy food, beverage, and sweeping views of Pittsburgh from under the Liberty bridge looking at the Monongahela River. Free 2 hour parking is permitted in their garage. The West terminal is home to businesses and is expanding. The East terminal has yet to be develop. The two warehouses are joined by the lower level garage making it one unit. Highline Pittsburgh is located at the start of the Three Rivers heritage trail which runs along the riverbank towards the Southside. Make sure to check out the surrounding area around the buildings as well as the lower level for unique artwork, sculpture and even a painted freight train. This place has potential to go far and will eventually be one of Pittsburgh's best kept secrets.

Beautiful view of the city!!! Definitely worth checking out and you gotta grab a Coffee from Dynamic Coffee Roasters while you're there!! ❤️ ☕️

Really nice improvement on the river, cool public space with great views in an area that really needed a decent attraction to draw people in. Just needs a new trail connection and it will be perfect.

Disappointed to say the least, if they ever contract with FBE consulting and event planning. Absolutely do not attend, the Haunt on the Highline was a money grab and they scammed over 100 folks. My partner has been trying to get a refund for over priced tickets and they have been dismissive. Please do not waste your time with this establishment and the folks they contract with.

Def a great spot to chill and vibe the river & city's beauty

This steel double-decked bowstring-arch bridge carries Interstate 376 between downtown Pittsburgh and the Fort Pitt Tunnel. It opened in June 1959 and remains too narrow for the amount of traffic trying to cross it. Today, I was in a Pittsburgh city bus heading out of town and it was nearly hilarious watching our bus driver merging from the various on-ramps to get across the Monongahela River. He was only successful because people are scared of buses. Otherwise, I'd probably still be there! With a clearance over the river of 471 feet and a total length of 1207 feet, the bridge is impressively awesome considering that it is over sixty years old. It was an achievement for the time as the first computer-designed bridge in the world. The bridge is painted a bright yellow and there is no toll to cross it in either direction. I'm a fan.

Getting onto and off this bridge is like playing chess with a toddler. People forget how to merge, people will just try and side swipe you, and it's a "everyone for themselves" kind of thing. I dread having to go that way because I know how it is going to be. Good luck all who dare enter haha

Absolutely stunning bridge and a well travelled one if coming or going to the airport from town. Good luck picking the right lane to be in, you will likely go somewhere new every time

Has a narrow bike and pedestrian path. Great place to view the Three Rivers.

4.5 stars. The Fort Pitt Bridge is one of the most famous bridges in Pittsburgh. This yellow, two-deck bridge was built several decades ago. It carries Interstate 376 over the Monongahela River to connect the southwestern suburbs with the city. Sometimes traffic can move slowly, and drivers might struggle with switching lanes. Nevertheless, I rate this bridge highly because of its Pittsburgh-yellow color and its beautiful views of the city skyline.

The views from here are breathtaking! Just be careful if you’re driving. You don’t want to miss your exit.

Okay really? I'm rating a bridge? Here are a couple things you ought to know. If you want to get from Oakland to Southside, you need to swing across two lanes of traffic in the middle of the bridge. If you're coming from Green tree and want to get to the north side, you need to swing across a couple of lanes of the bridge. If you're coming from downtown and want to head out towards the airport, you need to swing across a couple of lanes of traffic in the middle of the bridge. Pittsburgh bridges are complicated, and the roads are messy, but they get you there. And the best thing about the fort Pitt bridge is coming into town from Greentree in the airport at night. It's absolutely magical exiting the tunnel and seeing the downtown all lit up.

One of the most beautiful places to walk and enjoy life in Pittsburgh.

The closest island on the Allegheny River to downtown, it is easily accessible via a pedestrian or car bridge. There is a lovely walking trail, restaurant, marina, housing, and offices. You can easily circumnavigate the island in 15 minutes, or you can take half an hour to an hour and just enjoy the views

Herrs Island is a part of history from the George Washington era. Its a great place to walk along the Allegheny River and great views of the city of Pittsburgh. Perfect place for a walk.

Great place to walk around or bike!

The Bishop Hans Herr is my 8th great grandfather! His nephew Benjamin Herr owned Herr's Island on the Allegheny...

Nice walking path and excellent views of the river.

Such an amazing place to go relax and enjoy the views!

Staff was very “helpful, courteous and kind”.

The store manager is very knowledgeable about gear and everything scouts need to have fun and achieve in scouting.

I had an employee that help me. He was amazing and helpful. Answered any question I had.

Scout uniform and essential shop. They are having supply issues like everyone else.

Tremendous program for youth. Nowhere else can youth gain leadership and character training like the can in Scouting!

Great learning experience for both of my sons!

The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. 👊👍

Our server (the manager/owner?) was so sweet! He greeted us with a smile and had non stop corny jokes going. The food was reasonably priced and good! Primantis + Heintz ketchup + IC lite & a pickle topped off our Pittsburgh weekend experience.

All right, I am going to say it – I absolutely do not understand the hype around these sandwiches. On a recent trip to Pittsburgh before heading to a Steelers game, my dad, my husband, and I felt that we had to do the quintessential Pittsburgh thing and get a Primanti Bros sandwich. I ordered what essentially was a burger-sandwich (the Pittsburgh sandwich) while my dad and my husband tried the pastrami sandwich. When the sandwiches arrived, we were blown away by how massive in size they were. Luckily, the bread is very soft and compacts down so that you can actually pick up the sandwich and take a reasonable bite. But without some sort of notable sauce or anything, we all felt that the sandwiches were extremely dry and unremarkable. Adding french fries did not help with the dryness but exacerbated it. I got so desperate I ended up dunking my Pittsburgh sandwich in ketchup just to have enough moisture to get it down. Again, if someone could please explain to me what the hype is around these sandwiches I would greatly appreciate it. Service was fast, but it’s Pittsburgh so it wasn’t very friendly. The space gave off a sports bar type vibe. I’m glad I tried it so that I could say I have but I highly doubt I would ever come back.

Great place to have the traditional sandwich. The atmosphere is very nice. The people they’re very friendly. The manager helped serving the tables and check on the visitors. One of my favorite experiences in Pittsburgh.

This sandwich was so good! Come hungry! The fries were the best! We ordered take out and nothing was soggy or gross by the time C we got back to the hotel (15 min). The bread was super soft and delicious!

I've been coming to this location forever, it seems. Love its Pittsburgh legendary status. Well deserved. On my recent return to Pittsburgh, I was lucky to be waited on, served by, and have my sandwich made by Stephanie. Loved her energy and friendliness. As always, my sandwich with an Iron City hit the spot. Very Pittsburgh. Love it.

The food is cheap, which is good and the service is fast, but the waitress did forget stuff we told her because she wasn't using a notebook to write our orders down. I tried 4 different sandwiches and all of the meat was dry and I think this place is over-hyped. They also have the sandwiches come out not on plates, but on parchment paper. They do have paper trays you can get though. There was one sandwich that was good, it was the Pitts-Burger Sandwich, I recommend that one if you go here.

If you’re in Pittsburgh, Primanti Brothers is an absolute must-visit! This iconic spot is a true Steel City staple, and it more than lives up to the hype. Our party of four all went for the original Primanti Brothers sandwich, and wow, it did not disappoint. The bread was fresh, the meat perfectly seasoned, and the signature pile of crisp fries and tangy coleslaw right inside the sandwich made each bite a perfect balance of flavors and textures. It’s messy in the best possible way, and exactly what comfort food should be. Friendly service, a lively Pittsburgh vibe, and sandwiches big enough to satisfy even the hungriest appetite. Primanti Brothers deserves every bit of its legendary status. Highly recommend!

We were there on a beautiful September day, when they had their Jungle Quest summer flower show! What a joyful day and a great time for families with kids. My daughter loved the tropical plants and blooms and was excited to search for the toucan perched on top of the foliages. She loved playing in the areas designated for children and loves learning about the different species of plants and animals that live in these environments. We spent at least 3 hours there touring and visiting the gift shop. The best part is having lunch at the nearby park.

On a beautiful sunny afternoon, my dad, my husband, and I decided to explore Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. First and foremost, the parking situation is absolutely atrocious! We drove around for probably about 15 minutes, just looking for a spot before we finally managed to find one about half a mile away. I think with it being located so close to two university campuses, parking is never good here. The terrible parking situation aside, this place is absolutely beautiful! The variety of plants and various vegetation in beautiful arrangements was definitely something to behold. We had such a wonderful time, exploring the exhibits and even had fun looking for the hidden toucans in the various rooms. Such a pleasant afternoon and definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Pittsburgh.

Phipps Conservatory is an absolute masterpiece. As an educated plant collector and a partner with a degree in horticulture, we came in with high expectations—and Phipps exceeded every one of them, earning a 10/5 rating from us. ​The level of thought and care that has gone into every single space is breathtaking. Each room is a uniquely curated world, from the stunning orchid displays to the thoughtful tropical collections. The plants are not only healthy and vibrant but are presented with an artistry that makes it clear this is a place run by people who are truly passionate about their craft. ​We spent hours wandering through the exhibits, constantly discovering new, fascinating details and unique specimens that held our attention. The Phipps experience is a testament to what a botanical garden can be when it's treated as a living work of art. It’s not just a collection of plants; it’s an immersive, educational, and inspiring journey. We can't recommend it highly enough to anyone who appreciates the beauty and science of the plant world."

Adding my 5 star review into the mix because this place was amazing. Beautiful botanical displays of all shapes and sizes all under these magnificent victorian glass greenhouses. You will feel like you were magically whisked off to London or Paris for the afternoon. Worth the visit to escape the madness and chaos of the world around you. Today I needed a nice, calm, relaxing, warm, inviting stroll through a garden and I was glad I stopped by. Thank you to everyone, especially Barbara keeping us going left and on the tour. 😎😎

Really cool experience for those interested in botanical gardens. Well worth the price of admission. Parking can be a tad tough to find on the street so be sure to plan ahead. Plenty of exhibits inside with rooms dedicated to rainforests, chrysanthemums, and ferns. My favorite was the cactus room!

I’ve been to several large botanical gardens, but the Phipps absolutely blew me away! My dad and I spent several hours walking around and I left feeling inspired and having learned a lot. This is an absolute must-visit, even if you’re only in Pittsburgh for a day or two.

What a wonderful experience! We've been here many times through the years and its always enjoyable. The Fall flower show was especially beautiful, and a treat to stroll from one area to another. I look forward to the next time here. We did learn if you go first thing in the morning (9:30), parking is readily available.

Unbeatable service! I've never seen such excellent service anywhere, especially for our daughter. When they assigned us a table, they gave her a gift with small toys that kept her calm throughout our stay. They have a menu specially designed for young guests. I truly applaud this because it's not very common in many restaurants. The view is spectacular. Anne's friendly service made us feel very comfortable at all times. Her menu recommendations were very accurate. The prices were reasonable. The appetizers, cocktails, dinner, and desserts were truly delicious. Overall, they made it a very special evening for my birthday celebration. At the end, they gave her a beautiful postcard, ideal to keep as a souvenir of the restaurant. Every detail from beginning to end was wonderful. We will definitely return. This is a highly recommended restaurant!

The view alone makes this one of the best spots in Pittsburgh—absolutely spectacular and perfect for a special evening. Add in the food and service, and you’ve got the recipe for a perfect date night. I have never had duck cooked as well as I did here. The skin was beautifully crispy, the meat tender, and the tangy cranberry sauce tied everything together with just the right balance. The salmon was also outstanding—light, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Everyone on staff took wonderful care of us, making the experience feel both relaxed and elevated. If you go, definitely request a window seat to make the most of the view. This is a restaurant I’d happily come back to again and again.

My girlfriend and I went here for our anniversary and our experience could have not been better. Our waiter, James, was as kind, helpful, and courteous as could be towards us, as it was our first time visiting. The swordfish I ordered was top-notch and the complementary dessert was a wonderful touch to a fantastic evening, all while enjoying the beautiful view at the window. We will be back for sure!

I can confidently say this is in my top 5 of the best restaurants I’ve ever experienced. 5+ scores on all 3 categories. The atmosphere and views of the rivers and city are spectacular and breathtaking. The food was beyond delicious! We started with the surf and turf appetizer, which is a must, followed by the she-crab bisque and Caesar salad. We had the special offered that evening which was linguine with 6 petite lobster tails chopped up swimming in a white wine, parmigiana sauce. What made our experience top notch was our server, Alissa. She is the shear definition of perfection pertaining to hospitality. She raised the standard for us concerning the restaurant industry. If you can ask for her, you can thank me later!

It's a restaurant with a high overall score. Apart from the elderly male valet parking attendant downstairs and the elderly female hostess at the front desk who were not very professional, everything else was great. Especially the improvement in ingredients was touching. Last time, only South African lobster was available, and I didn't really like its taste. Today, there was also Australian lobster to choose from, which was really excellent. Unfortunately, the pastry chef's style leans more towards American, using relatively simple and common ingredients, focusing more on sweetness and conservatism rather than flavor. I miss the previous pastry chef. Overall, it's a very worthwhile restaurant to visit.

My husband and I chose to go to Monterey Bay to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary partly because we were engaged there 30 years ago… What a fantastic decision it was to choose this local gem! From start to finish it was a fantastic experience. Upon arriving we were quickly taken to the table I requested followed by smiles and congratulations from everyone we encountered. Our server Madison was simply outstanding and so kind. Our wine suggestions from Henry fit our dinner choices perfectly and a complementary dessert to celebrate our anniversary was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal! And while the restaurant was swarming with out-of-town visitors due to the U.S. Open, the entire staff made a point to take care of us and we felt genuinely appreciated. We will absolutely be back and we won’t wait so long next time!

The view is the best in the city. Our waitress was great at what she does. The restaurant is nice. To kick it off as soon as I was about to sit down, there were crumbs all over the seat so I had to dust them off. I wasn’t impressed with the food. We ended up getting quite a bit of appetizers. Calamari, some kind of pork with a soft bun that was a feature, then another feature that was a trio. Calamari wasn’t really crispy but the sauce it came with was good. The pork taco soft bun thing was probably my favorite out of all the appetizers. The trio app had shrimp, crab cake and a fish on a skewer and unfortunately all of them were cold but we didn’t want to say anything. The crab cake was probably the best out of the trio. I ordered a bisque but that came out kinda sour tasting and I did tell the waitress but she took care of it and asked for feedback so she did her part and we appreciated her. I was really looking forward to that bisque because I haven’t had one in forever and it just sounded so good so it was kind of disappointing that it wasn’t up to par. From my entrée, I got the scallops which came with the risotto. The risotto was actually really good. However, some of the rice in the risotto wasn’t fully cooked. The scallops by themselves were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. The reason giving the food three stars is because multiple of the food items we received just weren’t really good but the scallops made up for it so I bumped up the stars. Service was great and the view absolutely beautiful.

It beggars belief that UPitt students actually get to take classes in these remarkable rooms, or for that matter, that they are so functional. Just remember if you'd like a tour, do it when the students aren't using them, like Summer Break.

This is a must see! The building itself is very unique & the self-guided tour of the Nationality rooms is one of a kind experience! All it takes is going there on weekends, stop by at the tour desk, pay $10/person and get a chip card that enters the rooms in exchange for your ID (obviously, don't forget to come back there when you're done). Then you can browse for 2 hours on the 1st and 3rd floors where the rooms are. You can switch the lights on when visiting the rooms but don't forget to turn them off when leaving, also make sure that the door closes behind you every time. Our favorite were the English, Ukranian, Swiss and Austrian rooms. You can also use the elevators and check the view from the 36th floor.

Highly recommended! It’s one of the most impressive places in Pittsburgh! Be advised that you need to book a guided tour in advance. You should fill out a reservation form online and in 30 min you’ll receive a confirmation letter by email. Payment will be done on arrival at the gift shop inside the Cathedral of Learning. Also it is better to visit the place on weekends when there are no students in the building. The Nationality Rooms are real classrooms at the same time, so you won’t be able to enter the room if there is a class in there. Also be advised that you won’t be able to see all 31 Nationality Rooms because the tour takes 1,5 hour only. When the tour starts your guide will ask you which rooms would you like to see, so check the university website and make your preferences before the visit. In my opinion, the most impressive ones are German, Austrian, Ukrainian, Syria-Lebanon and Turkish.

I visited the rooms twice, in 2018 self guided and again in 2023 with a tour. I enjoyed it a lot more on my own than with the tour guide. If you have critical thinking skills, these rooms will be very disappointing. The tour guide Grace was kind but she shared inaccurate details about the Syria-Lebanon room (claiming that the there were verses of the Quran on the wall, although upon closer examination it seemed to me like Arabic text, not Quran. It was very hard to read and the tour does not allow you to enter the room, only look from behind a glass, so that made it difficult to check). You also notice similar patterns of Americanization in the rooms, e.g. the Turkish room had a huge photo of Ataturk, the leader of political secularism. And although the rooms represent countries and designs that predates 1787, the Isr**li “heritage” room was confusing because Isra*l illegally occupied Palestine in 1945.. so what exactly is the “heritage” you are designing if your country did not exist until 150+ years later? A Palestine room would be stunning 🥰 the best room was the Africa room although very sad that they grouped an ENTIRE continent in one room.. anyway, the nationality rooms are a solid reflection of the way americans see the world and what they prioritize and value, so if that does not resonate with you, feel free to skip the tour and enjoy the pictures or visit on your own!

Had a guided tour this after with Natalie. It was 5 stars in every regard - Natalie was thoroughly knowledgeable, engaging, enthusiastic and had a wonderful sense of humor. She obviously cared deeply about the history, meaning and the building itself. Thank you for the great experience!! We will be back !!

I've been coming here since I was a little kid and have loved seeing all the new ones added over the years. I went today to see the newest room and it was fabulous as always. Had a fantastic tour from Abby who was very knowledgeable and let the group choose which rooms we wanted to see. Some of the older rooms aren't quite as wheelchair accessible due to ADA not being a thing when they were built but Abby was very accommodating and shifted some things around so I could get in. Everyone should go see the rooms if they can.

This was truly an inspirational experience. Our guide Abby was so knowledgeable and interesting! There are 31 rooms. For our 90 min tour, we saw 12 of them. She asked if there were certain ones we wanted to see, and made her own recommendations as well. I'm not sure what happened with other reviewers, but we absolutely got to go into the rooms and even sit in the chairs. She also explained the committee process and their fundraising process - including their decision making on what goes in to the rooms. Previous reviewers missed out on that info - that's too bad. My favorites were the German room for their stained glass windows and the Swiss room for their purposefully "mistake-included" murals on the ceilings (the quill for the writing on the slate board was especially funny). We definitely want to come back so we can see more of the rooms and get the details from Abby that we might miss if we just did a self-guided tour. And, at only $10, it is an incredible bargain!

Absolutely fantastical and a must see! It's a free (donations accepted!) walk through of a man's incredibly colorful life's work. We loved it and can't wait to go back. What a unique experience!

I loved on the Northside for over 20 years and always passed by Randyland but never went in. I always would say that I would because I’m an artist and love the colors. I got s chance to go this summer with s client I work with and it was awesome. The vibrant colors and the unique way that things have been put together make this place so nostalgic.

Yeah. Every interesting place. My favorite was the two "one way" street signs outside. I also guess my assumption of art is very different from Randy's. This place does bring much needed color to a colorless street. It was an entertaining visit.

If you have not been here, and you're anywhere near Pittsburgh, it's a must stop! This place is amazing! Randy is an unbelievable artist! Too much to describe except plan yourself at least 30 minutes to see it all! So amazing, you just have to go!! Tons More pics and info on my Fb page ~ Jo Anne Tingle

This place was incredible! So cute and free. It’s small so it’s not big or too interactive but it’s definitely a must when in the area. I got the chance to meet Randy very briefly and he was so friendly and kind!

To see a collection of quirky art, go to Randyland. To be inspired, visit Randyland. After visiting the nearby Mattress Factory, my family of three walked to Randyland, a house bakyard filled with toys, sculptures, art, and more. If you're lucky, Randy himself will be there and he loves greeting every guest. Randy started collecting art to help beautiful the neighborhood years ago. It's turned into an outdoor gallery visited by many and inspired an entire neighborhood to reuse and beautify where you live. Our daughter LOVED the toy section and played for an hour in the sand and finding all the different toys scattered throughout. Randyland is a must-visit when in Pittsburgh! Admission is free.

A fun little touristy stop that takes about 30 minutes to explore. You can really appreciate the artist’s creativity. Observed a black-and-white mindset in such a colorful, thought-provoking way.

This is one of the Sister Bridges in Pittsburgh as you walk across you will see three other bridges that are exactly the same that’s why they’re called The sister Bridges We always park in town and walk across The Clemente Bridge to cross the Allegheny River to the North Shore It is a great bridge for photo backdrops facing the city and the PNC stadium 🏟 in the Other direction.

Very underrated bridge in both beauty and function. Should be listed as one of America's nicest bridges. Accessible to cars, bikes, and pedestrians. It almost acts as an extension of PNC Park welcoming fans in even before reaching the ballpark. Fitting tribute to name it after Roberto Clemente too, one of the best to put on a Pirate uniform.

The Roberto Clemente Bridge is probably the most noticeable bridge I’ve come across in Pittsburgh. It connects downtown Pittsburgh to PNC Park. The bridge is very noticeable because of its yellow colour, and I always see it when I watch the Pirates play on TV. We walked across from the bridge, and luckily, there was an Oktoberfest happening. We could wander around from any side of the bridge! It’s a very beautiful bridge!

A lot of cool bridges that light up at night downtown Pittsburgh! Very cool, very nostalgic like downtown Cincinnati vibes.

Great looking bridge to walk on to the game. It's lights up at night!

Very cool! Love how the close the bridge to cars for PNC park events to allow easy access!

My Hero, as a child and an adult. At age 9 in 1971 I became a Pirate fan for life. The ‘71 World Series champs, Roberto at the top of his game… and then, gone. I now realize the way we lost him may be his truest achievement and lasting impression. As a big a star in the sport, to jump in a plane with aid and relief destined for an earthquake’s aftermath, that alone is remarkable. To lay down one’s life in service to another in need… that’s Biblical. Thank you Pittsburgh for keeping Roberto Clemente’s legacy well represented for generations to come.

Been here many times and it's always wonderful experience and spectacular views. Be sure to ask for a window table when making a reservation, especially at a sunset, is highly recommended and memorable experience! The food was also amazing and service is absolutely incredible! Highly recommended!

Our wedding reception was absolutely perfect from start to finish! The venue was stunning and the views were breathtaking, the perfect backdrop for such a special day. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran seamlessly. The food was delicious and we received so many compliments from our guests. Every detail was handled with care and we genuinely felt like our day was as important to the team as it was to us. We could not have asked for a more beautiful and unforgettable celebration. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a flawless wedding experience.

This place has a breathtaking view of the city. I went twice - the second time was in the evening and there was live music. The music made the atmosphere phenomenal. Service is good, but slow. The food was also decent. Overall- pretty expensive but a good experience to have. The lamb was ok (I asked for well done but it was still a little raw tasting - I think it may just not have been seasoned enough? Overall… don’t recommend it). Baked Brie was also pleasant. The bread they give at the start was really good! Cake was also nice.

We had a blast at a 70th Wedding anniversary dinner. The staff was very attentive and helpful. Food quality was great and we were given a decent amount of options

Great location for a meal with views of Pittsburgh. Dated decor!!!!!! But the place is clean. Waiter and his assistant did a wonderful job. Hubby and I put off by seeing a charge for a chef dish we didn’t order. I suppose the $25 coupon we received was the counter balance for the $25 chef dish we didn’t order. Kinda scammy

There is no better place in Pittsburgh to get a top notch meal along with service and incredible atmosphere. This is a Pittsburgh institution. I praise the owners and staff for keeping it original and breathtaking. From the decorative ambiance, to the design and layout of the facility it truly stands alone in Mt Washington’s restaurants. Food was superb, service was excellent. I understand many celebrities have enjoyed this place over the years, now I too can feel exactly like those celebrities when they visit. Thank you Dunlap Family. Thank you Kathy, Tony, Marco and especially Bill for being outstanding at what he does as our server.

I hadn't been here in years. I recently had an event here for my business and had some appetizers and drinks. Everything was very good and the views were amazing! Perfect place for date night or to celebrate a special event.

I always love this convention center so much!! It always feels so comfortable and like home. Bonus points for many floors+a visitable rooftop. Amazing views from every window and many rooms for panels and other things.

The David L. Lawrence Convention Center is an impressive venue in downtown Pittsburgh. Its modern design and eco-friendly features make it stand out, offering beautiful riverfront views and abundant natural light. The spaces are spacious and versatile, perfect for events of all sizes. The staff is attentive and ensures everything runs smoothly. With its prime location near hotels, restaurants, and attractions, it’s an ideal spot for conferences and conventions!

We held our society conference here and it was a great experience. The convention center is big and beautiful, with good scenery. I have picture evidence 😁.

Five stars for the convention center itself. Very large, optional shutters for the sunlight. Easy parking with a gorgeous view of the river and PNC Park. One can step onto the balcony for a photo.

Attending a lecture at the convention center. Chairs were not the most comfortable, but they have a good sound system. Found rooftop to be a great place to relax and a different view of the city.

Just attended my second Anthrocon here. LOVELY spacious venue with incredible views of the waterfront. I always look forward to seeing the color-changing waterfall fountains!

It's such a beautiful convention center. We went for the Oddities and Curiosities Expo and actually ended up really enjoying the architecture and rooftop access. You get an amazing view of the city from up there. This is also a great spot for meetings and professional conventions because we stumbled into one by accident, and they provide companies and groups with so many meeting rooms to choose from as well as a ballroom! The convention floor itself was sprawling with so much walking. They only used half of the entire floor for our convention, I can only imagine how packed comic con can get.

The tour of the mansion definitely made history come alive. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and provided us with historical facts with such details that I felt like we traveled back in time and really gave me a deepened appreciation of what I am looking at. Also the car and carriage museum is free! Take the time to read the signs! There is also an old classic car you can sit and take pictures in. Unfortunately the museum was closed when we visited. The grounds itself is free and beautiful. Definitely put this on your list and plan for few hours here!

Very large. Many different trails. Quiet and peaceful. Has public bathrooms. It’s very clean also. I had a great experience. Also had picnic benches.

Lots of easy walking/running trails. Very pet friendly and fun areas along the way for kids.

Huge, beautiful park amidst a big city. The park is well maintained and offers a playground, bathrooms and hiking trails.

Original Blue Slide park and off leash dog park. A great place to hike and watch the construction on the squirrel hill bridge

I love Frick Park. Winding trails, beautiful raised wooden walkways, conservation efforts. Hawks, owls, and so many other birds.! Wide variety of trees and wild, growing herbs, and other greenery. Some of the paths are hard some of the paths are easy. You can pick your path for the day. I’m so grateful for fRick Park.

A most incredible way to experience nature, enjoy outdoor-active things such as walks/ hikes, mountain biking, trail running, incredible birding, the Frick Museum and so much more without even realizing you're within city limits. If you're in Pittsburgh, you owe it to yourself to come and enjoy the best city park in the nation!

Great view - if you were hoping for good food though - oof. Peek my $18 "Burrata". After a 23 minute wait, I might as well have ran down to the Rite Aid for something out of the frozen section and tried to heat it under a table lamp. Great Ambiance though 👍

Fun rooftop downtown. The drinks were gorgeous and the bartender was very nice! The servers never came to our table, so we just kept going to the bartender.

I guess you are paying for the atmosphere. We got 6 beers and three appetizers for $150! Way overpriced. Thats the $17 buratta salad it was literally four bites…

Drinks were really good with great presentation. Cool atmosphere on a rooftop in the city with table games. Food looked pretty good especially the soft pretzel. The bartender was also really nice!

The humus is highly recommended. Great vibe.

Super solid place to grab a beer and some light snacks !

Extensive beer menu. Pretzel sticks were wonderful. Service was a little slow, but it was very busy. Fairly young crowd.

I highly recommend a visit to the top of both the Monongahela and Duquesne Inclines. Both have beautiful, and different views of the city. We went up there for the night view on our last day and of course it rained. We'll try again next time we're in town.

Visited this sculpture during a trip on the nearby incline. It is one of the few attractions that are available on the top part of the incline. Nice statue with some good photo opportunities. The best part of the area is the view you get of the city of Pittsburgh. It is even better on days where the weather is nice. Good attraction in the area.

This place has an amazing view. It's so beautiful that you can just sit and have the view for a long time. If it's cloudy a little bit then it will be wonderful.

Tony Vanoy and I went to the "Point of View" on Mt Washington in Pittsburgh PA on Sunday June 8th. The park is free to enjoy! There is no parking lot so you need to find some on street parking near by! The views are Amazing! Pittsburgh and all the buildings with the 2 Rivers and bridges plus you can see the Pittsburgh Steeler Stadium ! The statue is of George Washington meeting and talking with the Seneca Indian Chief! I definitely recommend you checking it out!a piece of history with gorgeous views! I definitely would go back again!

It was definitely worth the drive up here. The view is breathtaking. Parking can be a bit tricky. We just parked on the one side street and walked down real quick. We didn't stay, only long enough to get our pictures. Our car didn't get ticketed or towed. Mission accomplished.

Very nice view from this point and a good historical land mark!!

Great part of history in Pittsburgh. There is a plaque and memorial in place at this site with the history of what came about from the Native Americans coming here. It is such a neat piece of history. The view here is phenomenal. You get a clear view of the fountain and point state park as well as the city in the background. I recommend visiting this site if you are in the city visiting. Even for the view it's worth the stop.

Great place to put your Kayak in the water. Just be super careful where you park. Parking in the morning on the street may be legal but change in the afternoon. Absolutely gorgeous views of the city though.

North Shore is absolutely beautiful! Offering scenic trails for biking or leisurely strolls, captivating bridges, and stunning views of downtown. You're guaranteed to be impressed, no matter your choice!

Well-maintained urban park with gorgeous views of downtown Pittsburgh. It's places like this that make a city vibrant and liveable. Come in the afternoon for the best photos. There's paid street parking close by and there could be a wait for a spot, depending on the time or day of your visit. Didn't notice any public restrooms.

It was nice, hard to believe that some pigs left their trash behind.

What I really loved about the North Shore Riverfront Park was that it was near the football stadium that the Pittsburgh Steelers play their home games at and it is friendly for walkers and runners as well.

So relaxing. The kids can run around in the grass (while avoiding the bird poo), you can have a picnic, sit and people watch on a bench, walk along the river, or jog. I like to take some snacks and music down there and walk along the river admiring the boats and one side of the Heinz stadium. I wish there was a bathroom. You must see if a restaurant will let you use theirs if you need to go, because otherwise there isn't one. Even during covid-19, there's quite a few people in the general area, but not necessarily walking along the river. Great night life for young adults.

Fireworks were amazing!! Super crowded but we had a blast.

Schenley Plaza is a beautiful and vibrant spot right in the heart of Pittsburgh’s cultural district. Surrounded by iconic buildings like the Carnegie Library and the University of Pittsburgh, it offers a perfect mix of green space, seating areas, and local food vendors. It’s well-maintained, peaceful, and a great place to relax, read, or just enjoy the city vibe. Whether you’re visiting or a local, it’s a must-see stop in Oakland!

This is a very nice little grass area on Pitt Campus. For the six years that I was at Pitt, I would come here many times to relax, do homework, try the food from the food stands, and visit various music festivals and events here. Whoever manages this plaza does a good job keeping it clean. There's also a small carousel and merry-go-round for kids. My church has also come here to host bible studies. Lastly, sometimes they have free fitness sessions here like Yoga and Meditation.

Terrific location and so much better than a parking lot! Great space to just hang out, do yoga, meet friends, hold rallies and/or enjoy your lunch at The Porch or any of the other stands. Or bring your own!

Good park with nice view of the iconic Pittsburgh landmark and access to food. Has bicycle parking rack and acceble by buses. You can hold an event here if you go to their website.

Such a nice plaza. You can relax or walk around. There are restaurants, an ice cream shop, and very clean restrooms in the area. The lawn is beautiful and nice for lounging or a picnic.

Everything an urban park should be. Not overwhelmingly huge, open, airy, several food options including one lovely place called The Porch. There’s also table tennis, lovely plantings, mod seating, and of course, a carousel. What’s also nice is the surrounding buildings that add to the character of the park.

Schenley Plaza is a wide, green hangout in Oakland, a short walk from CMU and right by the Cathedral of Learning. It’s an easy place to pause between classes: a big lawn with moveable chairs and tables, plenty of shade, and a friendly, open feel. In warm weather the carousel runs and kids laugh, while students read, eat, or meet for group work at the edges. Food stands and nearby cafes make it simple to grab lunch and sit outside. There are often small events or music, but most days it’s calm enough to study or people-watch. It works for quick breaks, laid-back picnics, and evening chats after lab. When you’re done, you can head straight into Schenley Park, over to Phipps, or back to campus in a few minutes. It’s simple, central, and welcoming.

Riverview park is a gem of a city park. Maybe it's not as nice as north or Frick park, but it's SO underrated! There's a swimming pool, a playground, hiking trails, picnic areas, and event venues all in one place! I imagine it'd make an epic family reunion spot. Have kids bring swimsuits and get in for free! I'm a fan of Summer Saturday Jazz and movies in the park, bring a bottle of wine and share a glass with the Asian guy 😁

We just went on one trail so I can’t speak about all the trails or the whole park, but it is beautiful. Google maps doesn’t show all the places you can park, but there are signs here and there. The trail we went on was a bit rough with some ridges in it, so some maintenance would be helpful. But not too difficult and a nice nature experience.

Amazing views and quiet areas. There's many parks and pavilions to enjoy. Tucked into the woods, this park is grand and beautiful, being so close to the city.

Wow was a beautiful place. We took our pup here for the dog park and was surprised how clean and quiet it was. The dog park had two areas, one for smaller pups and one for bigger ones. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Great spot for a weekend hangout with the pup.

Nice park. Went here to view the fireworks down in Pittsburgh.

Lovely view of downtown from the back steps at the observatory.

I have been going to Riverview Park since I was a child. Now I frequently ride thru to see the scenery and decompress while I listen to music. Venturing off into the woods is always relaxing too!

Great space! It was completely full when we arrived, sadly nowhere to hang out, got some pics and will be back another time :)

This idea is so unique and I really enjoyed a close up perspective of the river!!!

Shore Thing is a definite must! If you haven't been, put that at the top of your list. Pittsburgh is a great city so add this spot onyour list!

ideal for an excellent walk, many wonderful views, clean and quiet place. You can find people doing exercises, walking their dogs, tourists. It is easily accessible for people who use wheelchairs, there is a ramp that takes you to the entire River. In the back is the baseball stadium, so you can give your structure a view from outside.

Cool spot not far from PNC Park. It has some place to sit and artwork to view. It is right on the river as well, with views of the buildings across the river.

It's a very magnificent and peaceful place! Excelente to make exercises, ride a bike or just sit down and enjoy the view!

Very nice and relaxing place to sit. Allegheny Landing has lots to offer with stores nearby, and a beautiful view of the city as well as the bridges!

The sightseeing tour was a lot of fun. The prices was right for the hour tour. The ferry had a full bar and lots of different areas on the boat to get good views. The tour narrator was great, tons of information and covered just about every building in the city, very fun tour, good way to spend an afternoon in Pittsburgh!

Awesome cruise!!! Get some history on the Burg. The announcer was very enthusiastic and made the journey fun. Pricing is also affordable. The crew was great and the boat was clean. Nice family and friends activity to spend some quality time in the Burg.

The 8 pm Three River Tour is great! Calm pace and insightful info from the captain during the trip. The boat is quiet and comfortable. Paid parking at the site.

We have been able to enjoy a boat tour for the past three years when we visit for work in the fall. It's always a nice comfortable time. The history and jokes are fun. It's relaxing, the drinks and food are good. They offer some basic concession food. Hot dogs/ popcorn and serve alcohol.

We took the captains dinner cruise. The food was pretty good, the scenery was beautiful, it was a calming and relaxing experience. My favorite aspect was enjoying the crisp night air on the open air deck after we finished our dinner.

The Friday R&B dance party was just one my favorite things I've done all summer!! The drinks were pretty expensive and the snack station ran out of buffalo and BarQ chicken and that was left to choose from was a hot dog and nachos. The cheese sauce could've at least been warm. But overall I really enjoyed myself. The DJ was lit all night and night view of my beautiful, Pittsburgh city from top deck of the boat was just breathtaking!!

All I can say if you're going to a Steelers game or a pirates game it's a must at least one time. Go ahead and get the round trip ticket while you're there and be careful around water! Took my jacket off and one of my earbuds popped off into the water it's gone.

Great place to take in the sites of the two rivers forming the Ohio River. Great views of bridges and architecture of Pittsburgh's history. The are no guardrails and nothing to protect you from accidental items blowing into the rivers. Please secure your gear and personals. Great place to run, bike and have lunch. Security was always present. You also enjoy and mini botanical garden tour or hear the games at the stadium.

One of the best spots in all of Pittsburgh, place where two rivers meet with a really neat fountain and fun social area.

This was the start of my 350 mile ride from Pittsburgh to D.C. along the GAP and C&O trail. The park has a beautiful view but smells of the many homeless people that hang out in the park.

Very nice place to go for a walk or company event. Also a good spot to cast a fishing rod for a catfish

Cool space to hang out, unfortunately the fountain was under construction/repair.

Nice small park at the tip of the island, fountain wasn’t on our visit June, 2025.

The point State Park is a must see place if you are visiting Pittsburgh. Offcouurs, if you want to enjoy the fountain splash, the ideal season would be summer and fall, but the park is open year round. This is the junction of all three Pittsburgh rivers. You can even see the difference water colors of the rivers

Review for the top station. You pay for your trips (both ways) whenever you are at the bottom station. 5 dollars per person for a round trip (cash only - exact amount only, there is a change maker at the bottom of the station if you need it). Do a 10 min walk over once you get to the top for some great overlooks. The top is a lot cooler (more things to do) than the bottom. Cars run regularly and quickly, you will not have to wait long to go back. Small gift shop kiosk at the top. Other pictures of cool things about the area/inclines at the top. I parked up top on a Sunday and it was free street parking. There is metered parking any other day (not that many spaces so you many have to park below in a paid lot). The view is great and it's a great Pittsburgh experience you should probably do at least once!

Really old incline railway that's being preserved for future generations to ride and enjoy. Fares and donations are being used for upkeep and maintenance. Photo opportunities abound, especially at top platform.

So not being from Pittsburgh, this was a real experience… we didn’t know quite what to expect and hopping on board the incline at the bottom and going up at first was a little unnerving! It’s steep and goes up pretty high. But after we realized it’s exceedingly safe, well maintained we did enjoy the trip up and down. The views are absolutely spectacular and you can see three rivers crystal clear and all of the downtown and the stadium. It was a really neat experience and we will definitely do it again. If you’re afraid of heights like I am, it might not seem like your cup of tea but if you can muster through it, it’s an experience like none other. I’m glad I did it.

This was easily the best experience of our spring break trip! We had the ABSOLUTE pleasure of meeting John and Gary, both a part of the Saturday night crew. They were so kind as to show us how the incline works and chat about recommendations in the area as this is our first time here. We will remember this specific moment of our trip forever. The ride was so fun and the sights were so beautiful. There is lots to learn and see here, a MUST do for anyone visiting Pittsburgh! Thanks again Gary and John you made our trip. -Quinn and Grace

This was a very cute small functional museum in Pittsburgh about the local tram-system. They had pictures of other tram-systems from around the world and historical examples from postcards and pictures of the local living history. The cost of admission to the museum is free with donations appreciated and the cost of the actual tram ride is only $2.50. It provided a great view of the city and was a beautiful example of local Pittsburgh living history.

Great experience and ride back in history. If in town don’t miss an opportunity to enjoy the view from this public form of transportation. Feels like a ride, but definitely the best way up and down the hill. I would definitely put this on your must do list when in Pittsburgh.

Excellent walk and experience to appreciate the city and this means of transport 👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏻

This restaurant inside the Indigo hotel is quite a find. It serves classic American fare in a nice setting. The place is actually quite large, the food is good and the prices are reasonable. Being the only restaurant in that office park, and within easy walking distance of so many businesses, I was amazed that me and a colleague were the only ones having lunch there. Our waiter was very good. He answered all our questions and checked back on us frequently enough to make sure we were taken care of, while not so much that he interfered with our meal. I got the Tomato Basil Bisque and it was really nice and I paired it with their chicken sandwich. It was a really nice pairing. My colleague got one of their burgers and chip and it looked pretty good too. Prices are very reasonable. With no one else eating, we were able to have a nice lengthy conversation and a good time.

A hidden gem in Pittsburgh! Consistently provided my lunch takeout with pretty good quality.

We had such a great dining experience here that we plan on coming back anytime we're in the area. Our server Jeremy was incredibly gracious, friendly and always smiling. He made us feel like we were getting special treatment. We came during happy hour and were beyond pleased to see that the portions were still very generous. We usually avoid happy hours because most establishments reflect the discount in the reduced portion size they give you. The atmosphere was lively without being so loud that we could still carry on a conversation.

Staying at Hotel Indigo breakfast was not included but good thing was that Eliza was a good option at all times! The food was reasonably priced and ok. I must warn that serving was slow and on special occasions you need to reserve a spot.

If you find yourself staying at the Indigo Hotel or near the hotel, stop downstairs and go inside the Eliza Bistro. The service and food are fantastic!!! The dishes that come out of this kitchen are definitely top notch. The chefs really care about how the plating looks when it comes out of the kitchen. KUDOS to the chefs and staff!!! From Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, you will enjoy them. Thank me when you enjoy your meal there

The space is absolutely beautiful. The incorporation of steel + mod is perfect. The salmon dish I had for lunch was cooked to perfection and the flavor is still on my tongue. I will definitely make this stop more often. The management is attentive to patrons and accommodating. I'm looking forward to the rooftop bar opening!

Great food and friendly service. We had so much fun visiting and laughing that I didn't get any pics of the food. But here are some pics of the gorgeous hotel lobby.

A nice park beside a busy road. It has great views of various Pittsburgh neighborhoods and downtown. There's only one piece of artwork on the land. The spring will have multiple redbud trees in bloom; other than that, there really isn't anything else to recommend it. Aside from the view, this is a totally forgettable park.

I've always been a fan of this park! It's such a hidden gem in Pittsburgh and not easy to get to considering you can only get to it from 380 heading towards the city, not to mention that the entrance way isn't necessarily passenger car friendly. However, once you get to this Oasis in the city, you'll find one of the most unique steel structure sculptures with Pittsburgh's famous yellow steel. If you've made it to this park and you see this post, you are one of a kind!

Tiny sliver of scenic Green space in the Burgh. Dirt path road and challenging access. But it is nice.

At 1 time, A long time ago, The "FRANK CURTO PARK" on Bigelow Blvd was a BEAUTIFUL Place to stop at to TAKE Pictures of Downtown Pittsburgh, Others would pull up w/ Their Girlfriends, Wives, Out of Town Visitors & Others to show off & enjoy the VIEW. Now it's become a RUNDOWN piece of WASTED Property w/ TAXPAYERS still PAYING the TAX BILL. The SUNRISE & SUNSET over the HIGH Hills & Streets of Pittsburgh makes it an AWESOME & PICTURESQUE View. It's a TOTAL SHAME that the "FRANK CURTO PARK" isn't being used as a SIGHTSEEING TOOL for the Pittsburgh Visitors & Tourists Bureau.

Cool to stop and get photos of Pittsburgh downtown from a high spot

Great place! Lots of open space and beautiful views.

Great view

Just out and about. Trim some trees and the view would be even greater.

Fine views indeed! We stumbled upon this lesser known overlook after getting lost in the area, and we're glad we did.

My personal favorite view of the city. It's a lot less known than some the others and gets some unique angles from the north side

Small park with good views of the north side and AGH. Street parking is available

Gorgeous view.

Great view of the city!!!

It's fine
