Pittsburgh at a Glance
During the 2000s recession, Pittsburg was still going strong with an unflappable economy that was adding more jobs while most cities were losing them. Even their housing property values were on the rise. The story of Pittsburgh's regeneration in the midst of the crisis did not go unnoticed, and new residents were setting up shop in Pittsburgh in droves. This meant more college grads, more small business start-ups, and more cultural opportunities for all. Between its low cost of living, multi-cultural expansion, and little risk of natural disasters, Pittsburgh is not just a city, it is more like an urban island unto itself.
Between all-year festivals and events, fantastic food that honors a predominantly Polish heritage, celebrated museums, gargantuan bridges, and some of the U.S.�s biggest teams, it is no wonder that tourists visit Pittsburgh in any given season. Considering the livability of the city, it is also no wonder some of those tourists keep their eye on Pittsburgh.
Where is Pittsburgh? Pittsburgh sits on the Allegheny Plateau, and its downtown area oversees the Allegheny River from the northeast and the Monongahela River across the southeast and meets the Ohio River. If you ever visit Point State Park, a.k.a. �The Point�, you can see where this marvelous convergence occurs. The city is officially categorized as a humid subtropical climate, which promises hot summers and a wide variety of winter colds that can sometimes drop below freezing. Those �hot summers�, however, are notably some of the most pleasant you will find when it comes to summer in the bigger cities. In addition, this climate also means you can cherry-pick your favorite season to visit. If you enjoy a snowy winter, a mild fall or spring, and warm summer, this is your jackpot.
Pittsburgh Attractions
This City of Bridges will take you to a buffet of wonders, good eats, and natural spectacle. No matter what your interests may be, Pittsburgh has a museum for you. Visitors practically make pilgrimages to the modern art mecca that is The Andy Warhol Museum and the Carnegie Museum of Art, known for being the first museum to focus predominantly on contemporary art. The ToonSeum is available as well, for when you want to get in touch with your inner child.
Take in the street art as you bar hop the city with the biggest bar scene in the nation, which also means some of the best bar food you will ever encounter. Celebrate Pittsburgh jazz and blues roots and burgeoning metal scene by scouring music listings for the latest sets, or scale the Duquesne Incline up Mt. Washington to get a full view of the city. Root for the home team at a Steelers game at Heinz Field or a Pirates game at PNC Park, and then hit the town to enjoy the nightlife shining across the rivers.
