8 days in Pittsburgh Itinerary

Known primarily for its steel-related heritage and 446 bridges, Pittsburgh sits at the confluence of the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers, which meet to form the Ohio River.

Venture out of the city with trips to Fallingwater (in Mill Run), Mount Washington Tavern (in Farmington) and Kentuck Knob (in Chalk Hill). There's much more to do: take in nature's colorful creations at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, explore the world behind art at The Andy Warhol Museum, get up close and personal with brilliant marine life at Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium, and examine the collection at Warther Museum.
