Pittsburgh is a gem. So much to see and do without being overwhelmed with crowds and noise.

I’m from Chicago. One of the best cities in this country and I can say that I lived in downtown Pittsburgh for a year, a year ago, right after the pandemic and Pittsburgh is the most underrated city I’ve ever been too! From the Strip, Northside, The Point, to Mt Washington. We loved it all! We love Yinz!

Pittsburgh is such an underrated city. I’m a flight attendant and had a layover there, and fell in love. Definitely need to take a weekend trip back! So cool, uniquely American, charming, and unpretentious. Highly recommend it!

Pittsburgher here, gotta say the cookie table at most weddings is amazing. At least in my family they are all homemade. They even setup takeout containers to take cookies home.

The cookies are way better than the cake.

I’m from Cincinnati and I have relatives in Pittsburgh. But one Don’t you might add is “Don’t expect to drive in and out of Pittsburgh without out getting mixed up on the highways”. Even as many times as I’ve been there and even using the GPS navigation the highways are a chore to deal with. You’re going to be driving and all of a sudden you have a choice to make and there’s 3-4 choices in front of you. We actually got lost once and wound up at the Mt. Washington Incline. So we said to heck with it and took the incline up to the top for free because we are Seniors. We got to the top, had cocktails and a magnificent meal and it was a real treat. I think they designed the highways to keep you from leaving!!!! This is the kind of experience that makes traveling a joy.
I recommend on any trip you leave one day with nothing specific scheduled. Go out and explore, see what you find and bump into like you’re on the Discovery
I’m 76 now and I remember going to Pittsburgh back in the 1950’s and from Mt. Washington back then with all the Steel Mills you couldn’t even see the city——-Now you can see it!!!

Thank you for the kind words about our city. Yinz will love it here!!!

If somebody leans over and says , " kennywood's open" it means your zipper is down!

Yinz is Pittsburghese, an actual dialect of the Scot Mountain folk. It's the same as you all. I love my hometown ❤❤❤❤❤

I love this city with every fiber in my body

Pittsburgh also has the unique distinction of having all 3 professional sports team share the same colors (Black & Gold) with its city flag.

Moved from FL to Pittsburgh and I love it here. Super underrated city.

I am homesick now for Pittsburgh after seeing your video. I grew up in Pittsburgh and spent almost my whole life there. It is wonderful. I live in Chicago now. Your video was right on about everything Point State Park, PNC Park, Heinz Field, South Side, North Side, the inclines, Yinz and Yinzer and "Daun-tawn." Primanti Brothers, etc. The friendly people there. Pride in Pittsburgh. You nailed it! A wonderful video. What a view from the PNC Ballpark & Mount Washington. Great job on the video. Thanks! I miss it!😊❤

From Philly let me say, Pittsburgh is an awesome city. 'Burghers really are the friendliest folks. Loved my time there.

[serialclone]

I go to Pittsburgh every summer. People always ask me why because they never think of it as a vacation spot, but it’s lots of fun, it’s not too expensive, and the locals are always very friendly.

And yes, you definitely need to see a game at PNC park.

[BradRossJr]

Drove through Pittsburgh for a night, and again back through during the day. Those views up top of the incline are breathtaking.

[annieoakley]

Loved the video but I’m shocked that a major don’t didn’t make the list. Don’t move someone’s parking chairs!

[nunyabidnis]

I have lived south of Pittsburgh my whole life. Most people are friendly, helpful and have a sense of humor.

[samsiskind]

Lifelong Pittsburgher...I'd been waiting for this video! Definitely worth the wait. I'd add in don't pass up the gorgeous city parks, especially Frick and Schenley. Both great for nature walks and hikes.

[mtilly]

We have a son attending college within an hour of Pittsburgh and watched your video to get some ideas on sightseeing. We had some time after moving him in and decided to get out of the hotel. We were impressed!!! Super clean, not smelly, and even driving in/out/around to see a couple areas was non-stressful city driving.
There's a possibility he may have an internship or FT job here in the future and this eased all our minds. This was a wonderful visit and thanks for the tips.

I've roadtriped through 49 of the 50 states and Pittsburgh is in my top 5 cities in the US ... So beautiful and fun. I'm going back this summer.
