Welcome to a City of Surprises

From our diverse architecture to our magnificent museums, from our unique topography to our world-famous symphony, Pittsburgh is a place where history, culture, and entertainment can be found around every corner.

It was only fitting that the athletes seeking gold, silver, and bronze in the summer of 2005 did so in a place known for steel. From the late 19th century through the second World War, Pittsburgh was the center of the industrial revolution and steel production was the high technology of the time. It provided an economic and cultural foundation for future generations.

Like the three rivers that meet at Pittsburgh's Point State Park, great thinkers, ideas and events continually come together in Pittsburgh to improve our way of life. It is seen in our work, our culture, and our respect for winners.

Today, Pittsburgh is leading the way in biotechnology research, the computer sciences, and advanced health care. As a financial and academic center, Pittsburgh offers visitors an eclectic mix of hometown hospitality, historical sights, and sophisticated pleasures.
