I grew up in the suburbs of Pittsburgh. Anytime I bring a friend to the city driving from the airport, they unanimously gasp with surprise when they see how beautiful the city is. Pittsburgh has gone through an amazing renaissance since the demise of the steel industry.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh. You nailed it, I love my city and I'm glad you did to! The national aviary is also in Pittsburgh, they actually had a large eagle escape last year. It was pretty crazy seeing the thing fly over the rivers hunting for fish! They finally caught it after a couple days.

I lived in the Pittsburgh area my whole life. I have to agree that driving out of the Ft. Pitt tunnel into downtown is spectacular. Thanks for making this video. Enjoyed it very much.

I did my undergrad here 15 years ago and, after living in 3 other cities, decided I needed to come back to Pittsburgh for the reasons you mentioned PLUS... It has so many excellent parks that are expansive and make you forget you're in a city; Frick, Schenley, Riverview, South Side Park, Highland Park, doesn't matter what part of the city you're in there's always a great park nearby. Also, it doesn't have an extensive subway but it does have decent public transit (and busways) and many walkable neighborhoods. The view coming out the tunnel is nice, but being able to get downtown or north side for an NFL, MLB, or NHL game from anywhere in the city and most parts of the metro area without needing to drive is amazing. Then there's the bike trails too! You can bike all the way to DC almost without ever sharing a space with cars!

I used to work in a Higher end restaurant in downtown Pittsburgh . I met a lot of Brits and other people from Europe that like to come to Pittsburgh to vacation which i thought was odd but they all told me that to them it feels more like a European city than an American city in that there was such a mix of old and new. They all came here because they feel comfortable here.

Swede here who's never been to Pittsburgh or Pennsylvania. This city has me charmed, I think it's a combination of many things. The beautiful landscape around the city, the skyline ofcourse. But also interesting history and how the city has succeeded in its paradigm shift from old industrial town to modern science and becoming an educational centra. Also there seems to be something mystical with this area of the states. The forest and rivers and old mills... If I could live anywhere in the States, Pittsburgh is up there even "unseen".

I love this city. I recently drove there from Michigan and was blown away by how unique and awesome this city is. Up until now, Pittsburgh never crossed my mind as an interesting place to go to. Having experienced it for myself, all I can say is I want to go back soon. The city has a very interesting energy to it, I can't quite explain it. It's like a big city with a small town feel, very cool. I also love all of the hills, bridges, tunnels, and overall landscape of this city. I love Pittsburgh.

As a proud Pittsburgh native who hasn't had the chance to visit the city as much as I would like, I can confidently say that Pittsburgh is the best city in the world. There are countless reasons why I feel this way, but here are just a few.

First of all, Pittsburgh is a city that truly embodies the spirit of the American dream. It has a rich history of industry and innovation, and it's been a place where hardworking people have been able to build successful lives for themselves and their families for generations. Despite its challenges over the years, Pittsburgh has always been a place of resilience and determination, and that's something that I find incredibly inspiring.

Another thing that I love about Pittsburgh is its unique and diverse culture. Whether you're into sports, art, music, food, or anything in between, you're sure to find something that you love in Pittsburgh. From the iconic black-and-gold of the Steelers to the delicious pierogies that are a staple of Pittsburgh cuisine, there's a sense of pride and tradition that permeates everything in the city.

But perhaps the thing that I love most about Pittsburgh is its people. There's a warmth and friendliness to the people of Pittsburgh that you just don't find in other cities. Even though I haven't spent as much time in the city as I would like, I've always felt a strong sense of community and belonging there, and that's something that I cherish.

In short, Pittsburgh is an amazing city that I feel incredibly lucky to call my hometown. It's a place that's full of history, culture, and opportunity, and it's a place that truly embodies the best of what America has to offer. Whether you're a lifelong resident or just passing through, I'm confident that you'll fall in love with Pittsburgh just like I have.

Driving through the Ft Pitt tunnel IS the best entrance to any city 😉

Great video! I live in Austin but grew up in Pittsburgh (North Hills) and moved here in the 70s. Still very proud to say I’m from Pittsburgh and I love the way the city has progressed after the demise of the steel industry. Huge Steelers fan down here in Cowboys country!

[HelicopterDown]

Visited Pittsburgh for the first time for Anthrocon this past weekend. What a beautiful city. The incline was breathtaking, and the National Aviary was incredible!

I moved here from another part of western Pennsylvania about 4 years ago. I have always wanted to live here in Pittsburgh, and I'm absolutely in love with the city, and the people in it. The friendly, hospitable, charitable, and honest people are just one of many things that make it so great! I have lived in several cities all over the US and abroad, and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. When I'm travelling, and people ask me where I'm from, I very proudly say Pittsburgh <3 & Light to you all! Thank you @City Geek

[theStarker]

I move in just a couple of weeks to attend CMU and I am so excited! I applied after visiting the city a couple of times and I cannot wait to relocate. No joke about the Ft. Pitt tunnel--it stuns me every time! Pittsburgh is truly underrated with how much culture it packs into a small area without ever feeling like a major congested city.

[Salazar]

Seeing the city skyline as u exit the tunnel is simply mesmerizing. I'm from NY and the first time i visited this amazing city is something i will never forget. Their bridges, their rivers and their stadiums all ties up into a breath taking postcard.

Suburban Pittsburgh native here- I would like to proudly say that it is people who make great videos like you who are helping to make my beloved city and many other cities more well known to the world. I love how you quickly covered some of the best and most prominent aspects of Pittsburgh, and it was a joy to watch. I love my city and hometown with every fiber in me, and so I thank you for revealing the beautiful wonder that is Pittsburgh, my one and only home. Great job!! Thanks- A

Ah what a beautiful narration of a beautiful city. We moved to Pittsburgh when I was 24 & my newly wed wife 19.years old. Raised a beautiful & successful family in Pittsburgh. After 46 years we moved to Atlanta suburb. Still miss Pittsburgh too much. Not long ago I told my 8 years old granddaughter that we are going to move back to Pittsburgh after she goes to college. Plan to visit ASAP. Thank you for the true presentation of Beautiful Pittsburgh.

Also have to mention that PNC Park and Heinz Field are two of the most beautiful sporting arenas in the country. When at PNC Park you have such an amazing view of the whole city/skyline, making Pirates games more than about the game.

[estellamobley]

I was born and raised here and now currently live in Atlanta. You hit the greatest points of all. Thank you for featuring my city. ❤️

[markrichards]

Pittsburgh, in my opinion, is the most underrated city in the US. Culturally, it punches far above it's weight. If I was young and starting out, that's probably where I'd move. It's affordable and beautiful.

As a blue Jay's fan I gotta mention Pittsburgh has a incredible baseball stadium, skyline beyond the outfield fence. It's a gem.
