Introducing Pittsburgh
Still mired in its steelworker reputation in most Americans’ minds, Pittsburgh is a surprisingly hip, fun, cultured and beautiful city – almost European in feel with its steep, settled hills and seven bridges spanning three major waterways. The people are friendly and down-to-earth, and the neighborhoods exude a historic, unique vibe that’s anchored by the many architectural gems. And culture vultures will be pleased to discover top-notch museums, verdant parklands, quirky music scenes and an ever-growing clutch of clubs and eateries – mixed in with the endearing, scrappy, blue-collar element that remains among closely-knit neighborhoods that refuse to completely give way to the creep of gentrification.
