Hotels: Pittsburgh Hotels And Motels
admin
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is a blue collar town known for its steel mills and football fans. Located in western Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh lies by the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers. It is relatively inexpensive here, with hotel prices averaging between $50 and $85.
This will leave you some extra cash for sightseeing. But if youre renting a car, know that this city has lots of bridges: lovely if you know where youre going, but difficult navigate if youre new to the city. Its fairly compact, so you can walk from downtown to the Strip District. You can get by without a car, but youll have to take a lot of cabs and buses.
If you find yourself able to spend some time here, check out the Carnegie Science Center, located right next to Three Rivers Stadium. Or, if you want to be part of the bustling local scene, Station Square is a popular shopping area; with lots of good restaurants, it can make a nice pit-stop in the middle of other activities. Got kids, or just want to act like one? If youre into roller coasters and amusement parks, you might enjoy Kennywood Park, just east of Pittsburgh.
Pittsburghs Nightlife
Pittsburghs got a decent nightlife scene. If you like college bars, Oakland is going to be your best bet. If you want to drink and hang out at a bar, South Side is where you want to head. Of course, the city is filled with sports bars, and youll never be without the opportunity to catch a game on a local tavern television. Autumn comes alive for the Steelers season, and if youre rooting for an opposing team, youre advised to keep it to yourself until youre out of the city.
