About Pittsburgh, PA
As the convergence point of three major rivers – Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio – Pittsburgh was once described as the "only city in America with an entrance." Pittsburgh is often identified by its iron and steel industries, but many don't realize that it is a clean, scenic river community; and the only U.S. city rated among the top five "Most Livable" in three editions of the "Places Rated Almanac." Visitors can stroll through the renovated 19th century Station Park, now home to a bustling mix of restaurants, nightclubs and shops. Families can take in The Andy Warhol Museum, Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood at Idlewild Park, The Pittsburgh Children's Museum, and Kennywood Park. Sports fans can follow the Steelers, Penguins and Pirates. And for a step back in time, the city offers two operating inclines: Monongahela Incline (1869) and Duquesne Incline (1877).
