Pittsburgh

2 Conversations

Pittsburgh is a city of over 300,000 in the State of Pennsylvania, USA.

Nestled in a labyrinth of convoluted hills, the city plays hopscotch with the Ohio, the Allegheny, and the Monongahela rivers.


With over 700 bridges and an inestimable number of tunnels, driving in Pittsburgh is like a rollercoaster ride in a rabbit warren. Suspension of disbelief is, therefore, a necessary prerequisite to successful navigation. Travel is, however, surprisingly easy... if not literally straightforward.


Well known for steel and Flashdance, Pittsburgh is also home to Three Rivers Stadium, a temple of sport; Phipps Conservatory, a palace of horticulture; and Andy Warhol, an icon of Pop culture.


Visitors with gloomy preconceptions about post-industrial steel towns will be pleasantly surprised by the general cheeriness of the city and the affable goodwill of the local people.
