Top 6 Architectural Buildings in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (PA)
November 15, 2021 Brandee Mangan
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."

We walked through the town enjoying the skating rink and all the holiday stuff surrounding this area. Great way to get into the holiday spirit!
