If you're feeling brave, take a venture downtown the morning of our wedding for the St. Patty's parade. Or if you'd rather not deal with those shenanigans, take this as a notice to stay as far away from directly downtown as possible that morning.
A Pittsburgh must do. There are 2 inclines but in our opinion the Monongahela is the better because it has more to do at the top and bottom! (Station square at the bottom, Shiloh street at the top.) They say the Duquesne has better views but we think they're both pretty awesome.
For our out of town family coming with kids, we have a great children's museum just a couple of miles from the hotels we listed. Note: there IS a water floor here so either bring some bathing suits or "accidentally" skip that floor :)
We love this place!! This is less than a mile away and definitely walkable from the hotels! Fun fact: this is where Julian had PLANNED on proposing to Christina but she ended up being nosey and finding out, resulting in a change of plans.
