LOCAL AREA

Exploring the surrounding neighborhoods! People visiting Pittsburgh tend to concentrate their stay in the downtown area where there's easy access to sports arenas and theaters, or in Oakland, where the top museums are. In nearby neighborhoods like Shadyside, South Side, Shop District, and North Shore, there are upscale shops, quaint museums, and eclectic bars and eateries.

Pittsburgh has something for all ages and tastes. Head over to the Carnegie Science Center and Museum of Art/Natural History, Heinz Hall, Frick Art & Historical Center, the Duquesne or Monongahela Incline for city skyline sights, Mt. Washington for the best views of Pittsburgh, and the surrounding neighborhoods like Shop District for off-the-beaten path fun and charm.

Passing through North Shore if you're a lover of sports. This dynamic neighborhood is home to Heinz Field, PNC Park and critically-lauded attractions and world class museums like The Andy Warhol Museum, Carnegie Science Center, Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, and more.
