About Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh is a Pennsylvania city on three rivers, where bridges, hills and inclines frame a former steel town now known for museums and food.
Pittsburgh stands where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers join to form the Ohio, and the point of land between them is Point State Park, with a tall fountain. The city grew in the nineteenth century on steel, glass and coal, helped by industrialists such as Andrew Carnegie, and its steep hills and hundreds of bridges earned it the nickname City of Bridges.
Top-ranked sights in Pittsburgh: Point State Park, PNC Park, Heinz Field.
