Learn more about hotels in Pittsburgh

A city basking in its industrial past, Pittsburg was a powerhouse in the steel, aluminium, glass, and petroleum industries. Named after British statesman William Pitt, this bustling Pennsylvania city played an impactful role in both the French and Indian War and the American Revolution. With a strong banking backbone, Pittsburgh is home to PNC, the fifth-largest bank in the nation, and offers a melting pot of both historical and economic significance.

However, like many industrial cities, Pittsburgh faced an economic decline in the 70s and 80s, resulting in a decrease in both jobs and population. But Pittsburgh is a city of resilience, and it has successfully reinvented itself with a diversified economy focused on education, healthcare, finance, and high-technology industries. While the population hasn't returned to the lofty numbers of its industrial past, the metropolis continues to grow and thrive.

When to visit Pittsburgh

There's no wrong time to visit Pittsburgh, but spring and fall seasons offer a truly special experience. Families will love the Carnegie Science Centre, Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, and the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium. The annual Flower Show at Phipps Conservatory makes spring bloom, while outdoor adventurers can utilise the city's parks to their heart's content.

As the leaves begin to change, autumn brings a patchwork of colours to the city, and the surrounding parks become a visual feast of fall foliage. Harvest festivals offer fun-filled days out, and Halloween is celebrated in true American fashion. With a wide array of accommodation options available, regardless of budget, Pittsburgh invites you to enjoy everything it has to offer in every season.
