| - I just moved to Greensburg, PA for school, so it seems appropriate to give my 600th review to the only attraction I know in Pittsburgh!
First point: it turns out Pittsburgh is gorgeous. I had no idea that this was the case the first time I visited Pennsylvania, but all of the rivers and bridges are pretty cool.
Second point: the view from the Duquesne Incline is awesome! From the top, you have a spectacular view of all three rivers in the city, downtown, and miles around downtown. You can also get some insight into the history of the place, which is really interesting, as well as the mechanics of how the Incline actually works.
Third point: the address listed is for the bottom of the Incline, assuming you want to ride up. We accidentally had the GPS take us to the mailing address (1220 Grandview Avenue) at the top. Since we were already where we wanted to take pictures, we opted to not actually ride the Incline down and back, but it was still a fun visit.
Fourth point: the Incline is actually part of the public transit system. As a result, it's pretty cheap to ride, even if it is cash only, which is a pleasant change from most cities' pricey scenic viewpoints.
I'm most definitely not a Pittsburgh expert yet, but I'm still wholeheartedly recommending the Duquesne Incline!
