City of Pittsburgh

I-376 Parkway / I-279 / PA-28 / Light Rail T

The city of Pittsburgh sits at the confluence of three rivers — the Allegheny and Monongahela meet to form the Ohio at 'the Point' (Point State Park). The city is famously divided into 90+ distinct neighborhoods by its dramatic topography of rivers, ridges, and steep hillsides. Key areas include Downtown (the Golden Triangle, PPG Place, the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, the Cultural District), the Strip District (historic wholesale market and now food/tech hub), Oakland (home to the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, Carnegie Museums, Schenley Park, and the Cathedral of Learning — the second-tallest university building in the world), Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, East Liberty, Lawrenceville, Bloomfield (Little Italy), Mount Washington (iconic skyline view), the South Side (Carson Street nightlife), the North Side (PNC Park, Acrisure Stadium, Andy Warhol Museum, Mexican War Streets), and the West End.
