Located at the tip of Pittsburgh’s confluence of three rivers, Point State Park preserves and commemorates a historical marker for the state and the country. See one of the most dramatic views of the Pittsburgh riverfront, and take some time to relax outdoors at the park’s waterways, scenic hillsides, many bridges and 100-foot-tall fountain. Or, learn about the past by visiting the Fort Duquesne remains and the Fort Pitt Museum.
Have your breath taken away as you travel up the Duquesne Incline. Once the main mode of transportation for Pittsburghers to get up the incredibly steep hills, nowadays the historic funicular takes guests up to the top of Mt. Washington for the best view of downtown. Children will get a kick out of the authentic car, the old photographs and artifacts in the upper station, and the ride up and down the mountain.
Knock back some excellent local brews combined with the most elegant pub food you will ever see. Church Brew Works is practically a religious experience—and the design reflects this! Located in a salvaged and renovated church, Church Brew Works has preserved the style of the original building with stain glass windows and pews instead of booths, turning this bar into a beer sanctuary.
