About Pittsburgh


Pittsburgh

Being a popular steel town in the past, Pittsburgh is now home to picturesque attractions and a beautiful city center that is called the Golden Triangle since it’s situated at the meeting point of the Monongahela River and Allegheny River.

The city’s cultural district is also at the Golden Triangle, where theatrical performances and other venues are common. Alongside both the rivers are multiple gardens and parks. Tourists can enjoy river tours that allow them to experience Pittsburgh’s skyline from all angles.

Pittsburgh is also popular for its array of museums, all of which have recorded the region’s history and heritage. Some of them include the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Carnegie Science Center, and the Museum of Natural History.
