Escape the noise of the city and spend some time outdoors at Frick Park. Stretching from Point Breeze down to the Monongahela River, this woodland park offers extensive trails, a large bird population, tennis courts, baseball fields and the only public lawn bowling green in Pennsylvania. If you are visiting during the winter, bring your sled to take advantage of the steep hills.

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 a performance envisioned by the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama, the oldest degree-granting drama program in the United States. This university theater showcases the works of its undergraduate acting, musical theater, directing, design, dramaturgy, production and technology management students in every show.

Take a ride down the Monongahela River at Historic Station Square with the Gateway Clipper Fleet. Symbolic of Pittsburgh’s river renaissance, this three-riverboat fleet recalls the time when Pittsburgh was known as the Gateway to the West. Choose from a variety of cruises from sightseeing day trips to formal dinner cruises.
