Did you know there are over 440 bridges in Pittsburgh? That’s a lot of bridges for a city with a population of just over 300,000.

Pittsburgh certainly deserves the title “City of Bridges.” However, as the locals will tell you, there is much more to this city than bridges.

As The New York Times puts it, Pittsburgh was “built on steel.” But nowadays, the headline reads, it “thrives on culture.”

Don’t just follow the crowd. Read below for unique things to do in Pittsburgh on your visit. Here we go!

1. Escape Room

Would you believe that only a few years ago there were hardly any escape rooms in the US?

In 2014, there were only 22 escape rooms in the whole country. By 2017, there were over 2,000 escape rooms.

Are you searching for an activity which promises a lot of fun and excitement to share with your friends and family?

Breakout Games Escape Room in Pittsburgh could prove to be a memorable experience.

2. The German Experience

Pittsburgh became home to hundreds of Germans during the late-19th century. One of which was the businessman Henry J. Heinz, who founded Heinz Company.

But, German culture still lives and breaths in the city. The greatest example of this is the Hofbrau Haus. While it may not be exactly like the Fatherland, it’s certainly a Wunderbar to get a drink or two.

You can sample the traditional German wheat beer, experience the lederhosen of the servers and enjoy music and entertainment like nowhere else.

3. A Tour of the Home of American Whiskey

Did you know that Pittsburgh is also the home of American Whiskey?

The city played an important role in the Whiskey Rebellion as well. You can learn all about the history of whiskey in the US here.

Without a doubt, you’ll also get the chance to sample the whiskey yourself. If whiskey isn’t to your taste, then you can also enjoy a number of other liquours. The gin in these parts is also outstanding.

4. Take a Ride on the Inclines

For many people, no visit is complete without discovering the finest view of the city. You’ll notice that this former industrial town is blessed with a beautiful hilly landscape.

This made it a nightmare to get around for workers arriving in the city’s factories each morning. The funicular incline railways were constructed to make it easier to get up and down the steep hills which surround Pittsburgh.

You can still enjoy a ride on the Duquesne Incline today for just a few dollars. This is where you’ll see the best views of the city.

Things to do in Pittsburgh

Now you’ve got your own unique things to do in Pittsburgh, you don’t have to simply follow what everyone else does. It’s time for you to explore Pittsburgh yourself!
