Map of Pittsburgh  

Tourism  
Pittsburgh still retains a Steel City reputation, so some people headed there conjure up images of the grime that once covered its buildings and of the smoke that once permeated its atmosphere.

These days, Pittsburgh is a very pleasant place to visit, with striking downtown architecture and ethnic neighborhoods that insist upon friendliness and charm.
