Location Icon Pittsburgh Area
Category Icon History & Culture

The experiences found in the Steel City range from hulking sandwiches to an inventive museum that celebrates the life of a pop-art icon.   




Roberto Clemente used to play baseball here, a fact that is still celebrated to this day not only at the ballpark, but also a former firehouse turned museum that bears his name. Then, there’s the museum celebrating the art of Andy Warhol, who hails from Pittsburgh. Beyond that, the insight into local culture isn’t complete without exploring Frick Park and the food scene that created the “Almost Famous” Primanti Bros. sandwich.
