Place indismissible
Duquesne Incline
The Duquesne Incline slowly climbs Mount Washington in an old cabin, while Pittsburgh unfolds around the junction of the three rivers. The route is short, but the view changes every metre, until the lookout on bridges and skyscrapers. It is one of the most direct ways to capture the topography of the city.
Culture and heritage
The Andy Warhol Museum
The Andy Warhol Museum is being deployed as the largest single-artist reading on the North Shore. Space connects visual archives, objects and creative context to show how a personal trajectory has become a collective language. The tour is suitable for art lovers and popular culture.
Nature and landscape
Phipps Conservatory
Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens offers a strong contrast between controlled greenery, glass and historical structures in Schenley Park. The greenhouses give a seasonal anchor to the city, with a visual quality that is renewed according to the light. It is a botanical and architectural stopover.
Nature and landscape
Point State Park
Point State Park It is located at the confluence of three rivers and turns this precise point into a natural and urban panorama. As you walk through the park, you can see how the city opens up to Ohio by water, and how the banks organize its edges. The place has an immediate readability even for a short stop.
