Bicycle Heaven is the World's largest bicycle museum and bike shop.
Reviewed By ZanderAustralia - Australia
After reading about this establishment on TripAdvisor we felt compelled to visit and we were absolutely delighted we chose to do so. The building is unassuming but step inside and I felt transported to a different world. There were bikes everywhere, of every description and vintage. The ether smelled of bikes. My memory was taken back to my childhood and cycling in the hills with my pals on their Raleigh Choppers. Over 3000 bicycles crammed into every nook and cranny. I felt the passion of the person who had amassed this wonderful collection. What a place, what fun, what nostalgia.

This retro, yet modern, urban park incorporates classic design elements with modern amenities for both spectators and athletes.

Went to the Pirates opening day as a part of our MLB Stadium tour and was not impressed. Pirates fans were great and created a good atmosphere but the facility itself was a disappointment. Stale, cold pretzels on opening day at the start of the game, Summer Shandy for $13.50/can. Multiple bathrooms had over flowing toilets.... was not managed well. Expect more from an MLB stadium....
3. Mount Washington

Located directly south of downtown Pittsburgh, this lively neighborhood boasts an active business district in addition to scenic parks and recreational activities.
Reviewed By Katherine G - The Villages, Florida
We took the Monongehela Incline up and walked aways to spectacular outlook point of the Pittsburgh skyline. The fountain were the rivers meet was not working (cold-n-snowy) but on a sunny day I imagine that spot combined with looking out at the "yellow" bridges that line the rivers is spectacular. Monterray Bay Restaurant is located there. Shiloh Street was a local neighborhood street with shops, bars, a diner, and bakery. Pretty area.

Yes, Gin! We had several hours to kill before our flight, so we stopped in for some cocktails o' the patio. There are plenty of games to play while you navigate around the several EXCELLENT spirit options. We were surprised to see Gin on the list....so G&T it was. We were at a loss to explain why it was SO GOOD! Likewise for everyone else we have shared our purchases with at home. We already ordered more. Go for the fun and bring some home.

7. PPG Paints Arena
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 844 reviews
Reviewed By Habsrule29 - Toronto, Canada
Attended this game and was not disappointed. Arena was easy to navigate and we went right down to glass level to watch the warm up in the Canadiens end. Pittsburgh fans were sociable without being rude which we have experienced in other arenas (Toronto). Opening and music between plays was good with a lot of rock being played. Lines for beverages or food were not too long and prices were typical for an NHL arena.

10. Saint Anthony Chapel
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 130 reviews
Reviewed By Jackbear - Los Angeles, CA
St Anthony Chapel was recently featured in SMITHSONIAN magazine. I was planning a trip to Pittsburgh and added it to my "must-see" list. Not far from downtown Pittsburgh, St Anthony Chapel seems like a non descript Catholic church from the outside, but wait until you step inside.
It's easy to be overwhelmed in a church that claims to have the most holy relics outside Vatican City. A dedicated priest collected over 5000 relics that purport to be pieces of the true cross, wood from the table of the Last Supper, and countless relics from saints. They fill the church and can be easily missed without a guide pointing out a few.
Impossible to miss are the lifesize stations of the cross that adorn the side of the chapel. Carved in Belgium, they are works of art in themselves. Guided tours are offered on weekends but the chapel is open weekday afternoons. An audio tour plays over the speakers in the church.
Across the street is a gift shop with a small museum. Whatever your beliefs are about holy relics, this is a church that will enchant and humble you. It's a beautiful respite from the troubles of the world.
