Pittsburgh City Break

A Pittsburgh City break is a great introduction to a city that is gaining popularity with foodies and sports fans alike. Just eight hours from London, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is currently one of the USA's hottest city breaks! With over 30 museums and galleries, Pittsburgh packs a cultural punch that can more than hold its own with much bigger cities. Whether you are looking back on the cities industrial past at the Heinz History Centre, or looking forward to its role in the space technology industry at the fabulous Moonshot museum, there's plenty to keep you interested. Art lovers will appreciate the Carnegie Museum Of Art, and the Warhol Museum, which houses the largest collection of work by Pittsburgh's most famous son - Andy Warhol. Pittsburghers live and breath sport, so to get under the skin of this great city, you'll need to take in a game. The Steelers are the hottest ticket in town, but there are few more relaxing ways to while away an afternoon than to soak up the riverside views at beautiful PNC park baseball ground. Foodies will enjoy the depth and breadth of variety the city offers, from casual eats in The Strip District, to fancy sit down dinners in downtown. Grand Concourse, the cities best seafood restaurant set in a beautiful old railway station is worth a visit for the décor alone, but make sure you don't leave town without trying a 'nearly famous' Primmanti Bros sandwich. As with all our city breaks your Pittsburgh can be tailor-made to suit you. We can recommend a selection of hand picked accommodation based on your preferences.
