Pittsburgh easily boasts one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful skyline in the country. Whether it’s glistening under the golden sun or glittering against the dark night sky, Pittsburgh’s sheer beauty is enough to take our breath away. Even better? We can drink in sensational views of the skyline from a whole host of places.
Catch the Monongahela Incline, right by Station Square, and the view of the city unfolds before you as the incline slowly climbs up the mountain.
Once at the top of Mount Washington, you have several observation decks that offer sweeping views of the city. In part because of its views, Mount Washington is one of those must visit places for visitors to the city.
For other spellbinding views of Pittsburgh, board the Duquesne Incline on the other side of Mount Washington. It, too, promises stellar views that include the fountain at the Point and Heinz Field.
You'll definitely also want to check out the view from the West End-Elliott Overlook Park. The park offers benches and plenty of shade from the towering trees.
PNC Park prominently features sensational views of the skyline. Go behind the outfield seats, where you'll find food stands and views of both the river and the skyline.
You really can't beat Pittsburgh's skyline in the evening, the light from the buildings shimmering in the river. For one of the most relaxing ways to check out the skyline, book a trip on the Gateway Clipper Fleet.
