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.

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.

Support the environment and treat your ears at the Pittsburgh Opera. Known for their amazing singers, the Pittsburgh Opera is also the first "green" opera company in the United States. With a rich legacy of music-making and international renown, this opera offers some of the best artistic performances while striving to make opera accessible to all.

Bring the entire family out to the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens and immerse yourself in a wonderful world of botanical attractions. Stroll through an authentic Japanese Garden, an amazing Aquatic Garden and the Discovery Garden, designed with kids in mind. Or, head inside the conservatory for exotic plants from around the world.
