ONLY in Pittsburgh experiences

• Explore the three rivers – From boat tours with Gateway Clipper and Cruisin’ Tikis to kayaking and SUP excursions, there’s no shortage of ways to drink up the city’s three iconic waterways, the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers.

• Gaze upon the Bridges – As previously mentioned, the City of Bridges has no less than 446 of them so clients won’t struggle to get a taste. From walking, biking or driving across them to sailing or paddling under them they’re impossible to miss.

• Admire the architecture – From grand historic structures like the Pennsylvanian station building at 1100 Liberty Avenue to modern world class sustainable structures such as the greenhouse at the Botanic Gardens and The Tower at PNC Plaza, acclaimed as the World’s Greenest Skyscraper, Pittsburgh’s skyline is sure to leave an indelible mark. Suggest serious architecture fans make a side tour to visit the collection of residences built by Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the country’s most famous architects, such as Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob.

• ‍Master the Monongahela and Duquesne Inclines – Pittsburgh was once served by a large number of these inclines, ferrying workers to and from the centre. Today just two remain, the ‘Mon’ being the oldest continually operating funicular in the U.S. Riding these inclines is more than just a great experience and photo opportunity, it’s a convenient way to access the outlying districts.

‍Conquer the steepest street in the U.S. – No, it’s not Lombard Street in San Francisco, as some seem to think, it’s Canton Avenue, right here in Pittsburgh’s Beechview neighbourhood.‍

• Trails – From riverfront trails and easy hikes such as the paved Eliza Furnace Trail and Steel Valley Trail to the nearby Westmoreland Heritage Trail, starting from Saltsburg, there’s much to explore in the city and beyond. For clients really looking to get out into the surrounding nature, and get some miles in their legs, suggest the multi-day Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) trail. This epic route combines with the C&O Canal Towpath to connect Pittsburgh with Washington, D.C, the fall colours of autumn offering one of the most dramatic times to experience it.
