Grace Period

Visit what Travel + Leisure named one of "America’s Coolest City Parks" in 2011. Schenley Park borders the University of Pittsburgh and the Carnegie Mellon University campuses, and is filled with people taking advantage of the park’s 450 acres of trails, woods and attractions—from an ice rink in the winter to outdoor movies in the summer.

Order a horse-drawn carriage for date nights, weddings, anniversaries, and other special events from Caustelot Farms. Or, take a spontaneous carriage ride at Station Square, where carriage services are available most Friday and Saturday evenings from May through October. Get a tour of Station Square, take a romantic Moonlight River Ride or familiarize yourself with the city on the Downtown Tour.

Visit the site of the historic Fort Pitt Museum in downtown Pittsburgh. Strategically built at the forks of the Ohio River in 1759 and added onto in 1764, the current two-story museum first opened to the public in 1969. Learn about the role the Steel City played in shaping the United States through interactive exhibitions and attractions, and recently added artifacts.
