Set between the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers and a mountain ridge called Mt. Washington, Pittsburgh has a unique character that is evident from the moment you arrive. Juxtaposed with the rumbling freight trains and the iconic bridges are the Bladerunner-esque, self-driving Uber vehicles, scanning the roads with spinning Lidar scanners.
Experiencing periods of boom and bust since its founding, the city is in a boom now, and it's a fun place to visit, with top-notch museums, great gardens and parks, and amazing food, from humble to haute. Indeed, the once-struggling city has rediscovered itself as a food and brew mecca.
