Things To Do
The Strip District
Marissa and Teddy (and Rooney) lived in this historic neighborhood for four years and now you will too - this is where your hotel is! Check out Penn Avenue for the food markets and your Pittsburgh merch. Or check out the Terminal on Smallman Street for their weekly Saturday artists market.
Senator John Heinz History Center
Learn all about ketchup and Mr. Rogers! Located just a couple blocks from your hotel
The Andy Warhol Museum
Andy Warhol was a Pittsburgh native and has a museum in Pittsburgh to prove it! The museum is near PNC park (rated the #1 baseball stadium in the Country), and only about a fifteen minute walk from your hotel. You'll get to cross one of Pittsburgh's many bridges on your way
Duquesne Incline
Pittsburgh is HILLY but luckily, you don't need to climb up this one. Take the Duquesne incline to get a great view of the city!
Cathedral of Learning
Affectionately known as Cathy, the Cathedral of Learning is at the heart of Pitt's campus. Fun fact, the Cathedral is the tallest educational building in the country. Marissa and Teddy spent a lot of time in this building while in college. Take a tour of the Cathedral's Nationality Rooms and check out the rest of Pitt's campus while you're there. H2P!
