There isn’t a bad seat in the house and you can enjoy cityscapes in all directions when the game is not in play.19. Brewery ToursThere are more than 60 breweries in Pittsburgh, all of which offer tours of their production facilities. Take your pick of these or visit several to sample some of the best beers in the city.

Carnegie Museum of Natural History and Carnegie Museum of ArtHistory and art enthusiasts visiting Pittsburgh should make time in their vacation itinerary to visit the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the Carnegie Museum of Art. These are actually two separate attractions but as they are neighboring, most people visit them together. The natural history section of the attraction boasts a dinosaur exhibition, while the art museum section includes 140 plaster casts of architectural marvels.3. Point State ParkThere are many parks in Pittsburgh, but one of the best to visit during your stay in this city is Point State Park. This land was once Fort Pitt, and the Fort Pitt Brickhouse is a structure that remains in the park. The park has an eye-catching fountain and beautiful gardens. It is a lovely place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas in Pittsburgh. The park covers 30 acres and is located in Downtown Pittsburgh.2. Monongahela InclinePittsburgh is known for being a rather hilly city. An interesting way to climb one of the inclines is the Monongahela Incline in South Shore. This is a National Historic Landmark that was built in 1870 by John Endres. Riding to the top of this almost vertical tramline will give you spectacular views across the city and the three rivers. An alternative is to ride the Duquesne Incline, which offers a similar experience and equally as impressive views.1. Phipps Conservatory and Botanical GardensAccording to Time Out, the top attraction to visit during a visit to Pittsburgh is the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. Constructed in 1893, the conservatory is home to the Center for Sustainable Landscapes, which is a botanical research facility.
