Strip District
The famous Strip District is located on the Allegheny River at the Golden Triangle’s northeastern corner was used to be filled by railroads and warehouses; however, today it’s become one of the main tourist spot of the city and a place of vibrant activity. The District is a place for art, dining, shopping and various markets to buy meat, produce, and other foods. Tourists can visit here and just enjoy the food or simply spend the day visiting the different shops. Saturdays are the busiest day here but is also a fun time.
Senator John Heinz History Center
This place was formerly an ice house and was renovated to become a seven-story museum that has interactive shows of the 250 years of history of Western Pennsylvania. Here you can discover how the immigrants molded the region, reveal the Underground Railroad’s myths or ride the 1940s Pittsburgh trolley. There are two floors solely dedicated to the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum.
The National Aviary
Crossing the Allegheny River from the History Center is where you can find the National Aviary. They have more than 600 incredible birds on display in exhibits with natural backgrounds and walk-through environments.
