6. Ride the Duquesne Incline Up Mount Washington

Location: 1220 Grandview Ave., Pittsburgh, 15211
The Duquesne Incline is one of those which follows very closely the tracks of an early coal hoist.

At the top, you’ll see what has been named one of the best skyline views in the world many times over.
5. Check Out the Cathedral of Learning

Location: 4200 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15260
The Cathedral of Learning, a Pittsburgh landmark listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is the centerpiece of the University of Pittsburgh’s main campus in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. To give you an idea of what it’s like inside, this beautiful piece of architecture has drawn comparisons to Hogwarts from the Harry Potter series.
4. Visit the Roberto Clemente Museum

Location: 3339 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15201
The Clemente Museum is dedicated to preserving the legacy of “The Great One,” as his fans affectionately called him. The Pittsburgh Pirates drafted Clemente in 1954 and he rose to become the greatest baseball player of his time. During this period, the struggle for social justice had reached every part of our country, and every ballpark. He and many other athletes had to bear the burdens of racial and cultural prejudices, no matter what their abilities were on the field. To learn more about The Clemente Museum, click here.
