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.

View unique local art you can really get into at the Mattress Factory Art Museum. By get into, we mean you can enter a few of the room-sized installations created by in-residence artists. One of the few museums of its kind, the Mattress Factory presents groundbreaking forays into the world of social media not seen elsewhere.

Visit what Travel + Leisure named one of "America’s Coolest City Parks" in 2011.
