Questions

What's the best time to catch a Pirates game?
April through October; May and September offer warm weather and fewer crowds. Check the schedule at mlb.com/pirates.
Is the Duquesne Incline worth the trip?
Absolutely. The sunset view from the top is unmatched, and the ride itself is a Pittsburgh institution since 1877.
Can we do this without a car?
Yes. Pittsburgh's T light rail connects downtown to Mount Washington and the Strip District; Ubers handle the rest.
