City Overview
This city may not appear so at first glance, but it is a friendly place filled with culture and learning. Yawn, yawn, OK, so what else is new? Well, how about spending days of fun and stuff on its three rivers, or its parks, or hiking the surrounding hills? There is a lot to do in this old city other than having culture rammed down your throat.
Daily Budget
Mount Washington - No prizes for guessing who this hill was named after, but there is a reward for climbing it because the views from its plateaux are unforgettable.
Frick Art and Historical Centre - Check out the collection of cars in the Car and Carriage Museum , explore the grounds, and go through the Greenhouse for some magnificent floral specimens, and all for free courtesy of the Frick family of Pittsburgh.
Hartwood Acres - The 629 acres in this grand old estate offer horse trails, bike trails, polo, picnics, and concerts in its outdoor amphitheatre.
