Downtown Pittsburgh is a crowded business district situated on the riverfront and well-known for its Point State Park, a 36-acre park at the intersection of 3 rivers where you can hike, bike or ride a boat. This is the place where Fort Pitt Museum, Fort Duquesne, and Point State Park Fountain are located. If you’re a fan of orchestras and the performing arts, don’t miss out on visiting Heinz Hall and Benedum Center for the Performing Arts. And, of course, we believe one’s never too old for cartoons. If that resonates with you, then walk over to ToonSeum museum to catch the current exhibits, pick up a class or attend an ongoing workshop. Before we explore the rest of downtown Pittsburgh, let’s look at the top Airbnb vacation rentals you can stay in.
