Things to Do and Dining

Only in Pittsburgh can you find this array of one of a kind things to do. Discover magnificent museums like the Frick Pittsburgh, engaging events like the award-winning (and a little offbeat) Picklesburgh, historic sites like Saint Anthony Chapel, which is home to a record 5,000 Catholic relics, and a culture unlike anything you’ve ever seen. 

If you’re looking for an unforgettable food trip, you’ll find no shortage of options in Pittsburgh. From Pittsburgh classics, to high-end dining, to your new favorite pierogie joint, and all the food trucks in between, you’ll want to spend some time exploring Pittsburgh’s very distinct food culture. 

Sustainable Innovation

Pittsburgh’s history of innovation is one of our points of pride. And it has carried through generations. Once known for manufacturing, Pittsburgh is now a hub for technology, medicine, and education. Come see why industry giants like Facebook, Google and Uber, as well as home-grown tech companies like Duolingo and Argo AI are choosing to land in Pittsburgh.  

With the shift in industries, Pittsburgh also became a sustainability focused city. One of the most dramatic environmental transformations in American history has brought Pittsburgh more green square footage than any other city, a number of LEED® certified buildings, including the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, PPG Paints Arena, Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, and the Energy Innovation Center, just the name a few. Not to mention the miles of hiking and biking trails that weave and connect the city.
