Have your breath taken away as you travel up the Duquesne Incline. Once the main mode of transportation for Pittsburghers to get up the incredibly steep hills, nowadays the historic funicular takes guests up to the top of Mt. Washington for the best view of downtown. Children will get a kick out of the authentic car, the old photographs and artifacts in the upper station, and the ride up and down the mountain.

Catch a show at the Rex Theater. What kind of show? That depends on what kind of entertainment you are in the mood for. See everything from a typical concert to an outrageous cabaret and peepshow. Live music options include local, regional and a few national bands playing anything from smooth jazz to rock ‘n roll—and the fully stocked bar keeps the nightlife going as well.

Spend some time exploring the outdoor jewel of Pittsburgh’s North Side. Riverview Park offers an extensive network of trails through its dense woodlands and dramatically steep hills for hikers, joggers, and the occasional horseback ride. Riverview is also home to the Allegheny Observatory, a space-themed playground, a visitor’s center, a swimming pool, ball field and many picnic areas.
