Pittsburgh Travel Tips

  • Twirl your Terrible Towel at Heinz Field, stadium of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the only NFL franchise to have won six championships.
  • Observe penguins, parrots, and flamingos in re-creations of their natural habitats at the National Aviary, home to 600 species of exotic birds.
  • See Campbell's Soup cans and portraits of Marilyn Monroe through a different lens at the Andy Warhol Museum, across the river from downtown.
  • Dance the night away at the brand-new Rivers Casino. Four bars and restaurants complement the glass atrium in the entrance and gaming tables on the casino floor.
  • Tour a real submarine and take in an IMAX movie at the hands-on Carnegie Science Center on Pittsburgh's North Shore.
  • Make yourself at home at the Mattress Factory Art Museum, a contemporary art gallery featuring bedroom-sized exhibits where in-residence artists work where they live.
