Pittsburgh Semesterpaket

Pittsburgh is far more than a center for steel manufacturing. Thanks to geniuses like Frank Lloyd Wright, architectural masterworks characterize the cityscape creating a striking skyline. The city is full of fiercely loyal locals and diverse neighborhoods made for exploring. Visit the Andy Warhol museum on the North Side, or stop by the Mattress Factory. (No, it doesn’t showcase firm, soft and memory foam varieties; it’s a museum for room-sized art installations.) If you prefer outdoor recreation, hike, bike or amble along Regent Square’s tree-lined streets. Wherever you go, you’re sure to hear the gurgle of babbling water; three rivers run through Pittsburgh, inspiring a variety of waterside activities. Leave your bags in a budget-friendly hotel room or a lavish suite, just don’t hole up for too long—shop downtown, immerse yourself in Carnegie-sponsored culture in Oakland or choose from a wide variety of ethnic and traditional American restaurants throughout the city.

Topplistade attraktioner i Pittsburgh

1.	Visit Fallingwater Rent a car for the day and drive about two hours southeast of Pittsburgh to see one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpieces. The structure blends seamlessly with nature; rock ledges jut over a babbling stream, emulating natural rock formations. Donated to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy in 1963, the home—with many of its original Wright-designed furnishings—is now available to the public for tours. Make reservations at least a few weeks in advance; it’s a popular site! Children under 6 are not permitted on regular tours, and children under 9 are not allowed on in-depth tours. They’re free to stay in a supervised care center that charges only $2 an hour. Unless they’re particularly precocious, they’ll be happier there anyway. Bring cash for the café, or picnic at the nearby Bear Run Nature Reserve. « dölj
2.	Check out the former location of Forbes Field Use the Pittsburgh Port Authority Trip Planner online to map your bus route and head on over to University of Pittsburgh, the former location of Forbes Field. Although the field was damaged by fire in 1972, home plate is still in its original location, enclosed under Plexiglas in the main hallway. You’ll also find the famous Life magazine print of students watching the World Series from atop the nearby Cathedral of Learning. Outside, see the exact spot where Bill Mazeroski’s World Series-winning homerun left the park. The best part of this activity: it’s absolutely free. « dölj
3.	Bird watch at the National Aviary The National Aviary offers a full schedule of demonstrations, feedings and events focusing on wetland habitats and rainforests.

If you find dining in restaurants to be for the birds, the National Aviary has you covered; “Breakfast with the Birds” and “Lunch on the Fly” combine eating with interactive exhibits. « dölj
4.	Bring the family to Sandcastle Waterpark Take the 59A bus to Sandcastle Waterpark which boasts 14 slides, a pool, a wave pool and a go-kart track.

5.	Check out Soldiers and Sailors National Military Museum and Memorial A historical landmark, the Soldiers and Sailors National Military Museum and Memorial has been honoring war veterans since the early 1900s. You may need to take a breather while traversing the vast front lawn, peppered with cannons and other firearms. Walk through the Hall of Valor, dedicated to veterans who went above and beyond the call of duty, or take an hour-long tour of either the entire museum or just one particular war. For a more comprehensive look, take the 4 ½ hour tour—it’s a bargain at $7 per person! Visit www.portauthority.org to map your travel route. « dölj
6.	Visit Andy Warhol Museum The Andy Warhol Museum is an extensive tribute to the artist, showcasing everything from doodles to infamous pop art paintings, like Campbell’s Soup Cans. Located in a seven-story warehouse near PNC Park, the Warhol Museum displays both a permanent collection and a series of changing exhibits, including works by other artists. Visit the basement café for a snack or save your money for the Warhol store. Where else can you get an Edie Sedgwick magnet and a shoe-shaped notebook? « dölj

Pittsburgh Insider-tips

1.	Visit Homestead One of Carnegie’s largest steel mill operations, Homestead Works, once sat in this neighborhood, just a few miles from Oakland. Make a day of it and soak up some history walking along the Monongahela River. Stop by the Pumphouse to see where labor strikers went to battle with capital in 1892. The Bost Building on 8th Avenue, which served as union headquarters for the workers, displays labor artifacts. If your group’s history buff takes you here and you’re less than enthused, rest assured: there’s a ton to do that isn’t educational. Shop in the Waterfront complex, watch a movie, dine at one of the many casual and fine restaurants, or visit Dave’s and Busters to play skee ball, pool and other games. « dölj
2.	Pittsburgh Neighborhoods to Avoid Pittsburgh is not a dangerous city, but some neighborhoods can be unsafe at times. The Hill District spans along Centre, Forbes and Fifth Avenues and is bordered by downtown and Oakland. All of these areas are a tad inhospitable after sunset. Crime is prevalent in Homewood and East Hills, adjacent neighborhoods on the city’s east side. It’s best to avoid these areas altogether. The other dangerous place to be: in a bar badmouthing Pittsburgh. The people are nice but they’re not shy when it comes to defending their home. « dölj
3.	Be Street Smart There are a few things you need to know about the roads in Pittsburgh. First: some streets look like one-way streets but aren’t. In Oakland, for example, buses travel against the traffic in a special lane. Second: don’t bang a u-turn unless you see a sign indicating it’s permissible. Lurking cops are often waiting to stop drivers for illegal U-ies. Third: beware of potholes; they’re everywhere and will destroy your tires. Last: get good directions. Many street signs are missing or obscured, so the city can be difficult to navigate. « dölj
4.	Beware of Station Square—It’s a Tourist Trap Touted as Pittsburgh’s most popular tourist attraction, the area doesn’t live up to the hype. Franchise restaurants abound and the stores are overrated. Locals agree the nearby South Side is a better spot to visit; the shopping is more eclectic and the food is a veritable slice of Pittsburgh. If you find yourself happiest in malls and food chains, then by all means, visit Station Square! « dölj
