Pittsburgh is a beautiful city located in western Pennsylvania at the junction of three rivers: the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio. It is a major connection to other parts of western Pennsylvania.
Apart from being Pennsylvania’s second-largest city, it also has a fascinating recent history. Pittsburgh was known as “Steel City” throughout the nineteenth century and into the 1970s. This is where the name of the football team, the Steelers, emerged! In addition, it was the epicenter of American heavy industry. However, the deindustrialization of several regions hit Pittsburgh hard by the end of the 1970s, so severely that its population dropped dramatically.
Until the late 90s, Pittsburgh had a not-so-good reputation for visitors. But in recent years, it has transformed into a hipster hotspot. This is one of the top reasons to visit and soak up some of the city’s revitalized culture.
Today, the excitement and fun in Pittsburgh last long after summer is over. So, from admiring its natural beauty to attending a wonderful autumn event, embrace the colder air and make arrangements to visit Pittsburgh.
