Pittsburgh has been remade and reimagined. Think 24 miles of riverfront trails, beautiful parks and historic attractions. Home to 90 neighborhoods, the ‘Burgh feels authentic and unpretentious. No visit is complete without a trip to the Strip District or PNC Park, a ride up the Duquesne Incline or a stop at The Andy Warhol Museum. Architecture buffs love Pittsburgh for the amazing downtown buildings. Hollywood producers, do, too—the city has even been called the “Hollywood of the East."

Free parking in a gated lot and free entrance to the museum and working bike repair shop. Amazing collection of bicycles and other items in fantastic condition! We met the owner/collector Craig and enjoyed chatting about his fun "hobby" - nice guy and truley passionate about bikes. Great trip down memory lane and seeing unique items that just put a smile on your face. If you're looking for something different to do rain or shine, pop in and visit - make sure to go to second floor to see it all! Vending machine snacks available, a nail salon/masseuse on premise and restrooms. Our 1st time in Pittsburg - We did trifecta tour of Bicycle Heaven, Music museum next door, and Randyland nearby. Fun way to spend a few hours!

Combine some really old photographs and photo equipment with a great tour and you have a wonderful visit to this museum. From what we were told this is the only museum that has items from the 19th century. Not very long, but well worth a visit.

The memorabilia in this museum is truly "ginchy" (cool, groovy); The musical group, Johnny Angel and the Halos, perform music from the 50's thru the 70"s in the Pittsburgh area and have many of their albums, etc. for sale along with thousands of other items. It's a fun place to visit and you can spend time with the owner, Johnny, talking about the music industry. Call first to make sure the museum is open as he performs at different venues throughout the area.

The Andy Warhol Museum is able to give the casual visitor with limited knowledge of Andy Warhol's life and art a good insight into his artistic development and how his early life in Pittsburgh influenced him.
9. Duquesne Incline
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4,216 reviews
Scale Mount Washington in one of two original 1877 cable cars for a fun and unique ride and a breathtaking view of the Pittsburgh skyline when you reach the top of the 400-foot incline. Parking available across the street from our lower station at 1197 West Carson Street.
Reviewed By rodietraveler - Monticello, United States
Whether you love trains, living history, photography or just doing something different, riding Duquesne Incline is an inexpensive way to do all the above. The tram ride is smooth and fun. The historical cars and the stations are well preserved. At the top, go through the mini-tour and see how the cars move up and down the incline. While the scenery is great from the observation deck at the top, do yourself a favor and take a short walk to see the views at Point of View Park, which includes a sculpture about the city's history.
