See the stars, or at least a place where they study the stars, at the University of Pittsburgh’s Allegheny Observatory. This national historic landmark has been a vital part of American astronomical research since 1859. Nowadays, the Allegheny Observatory is open to free public tours from April until the end of October.

Spend a night, weekend or longer in luxury at the Omni William Penn Hotel. The William Penn is located in the heart of downtown, with plenty nearby activities to keep you busy (if you even feel like leaving the grandeur of the hotel, that is). Choose a special Sweet Rendezvous Romantic Package for extra amenities like sparkling wine and gourmet truffles upon arrival, turndown service and breakfast for two.

See the city in one of Pittsburgh’s most elegant modes of transportation. Molly’s Trolleys are charmingly designed after the ones that filled the city in the 1920s. Rent a trolley for a customized group tour, a daylong excursion or special events, like weddings and reunions. Or, join a special public tour like the ‘Burgh Brewery Tour.
