The ten-block district known as the Golden Triangle, lies at the heart of downtown Pittsburgh at the confluence of the picturesque Monongahela, Allegheny and Ohio rivers. For shopping, fine dining and just enjoying the scenery, plan a visit to the Waterfront. Pittsburgh houses a popular Andy Warhol Museum and offer visitors cable car rides offering spectacular view of the city. History, attractions, fine dining, weather for all seasons - whatever the interest, the folks from the "'burg" will warmly welcome every traveler.
