Time Off

Rated as one of the top five most liveable cities in the USA, Pittsburgh is described as "the only city in America with an entrance". Visitors arriving at the new Pittsburgh International Airport approach the city through the Fort Pitt Tunnel, arriving in a city center shimmering with modern skyscrapers, surrounded on all sides by rivers and velvet, green parks.

Known as the "Golden Triangle", this compact area is conveniently scaled for pedestrian enjoyment. Wide green spaces and plazas sit between office towers and shopping corridors with the cultural contrasts of the Andrew Carnegie Complex, Pittsburgh Opera House, Pirates and Steelers team ground and the eye-opening Andy Warhol Museum, all within a few minutes walk of each other.
