What to do & Where to go

The first thing to do in Pittsburgh is take in a game! No matter when you’re visiting, there is bound to be a professional sports team in season. Pittsburgh is the City of Champions, after all! The Pittsburgh Steelers have won 6 Superbowls, and with 5 Stanley Cup Championships under their belts, the Pittsburgh Penguins have dominated the ice, especially the last few seasons.
