Lying at the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania is one of America's most livable and enjoyable cities. Having successfully transformed itself from an industrial powerhouse in the 1800s, Pittsburgh today is not only a corporate center for high-tech research but also a city with a real sense of fun, packed with impressive museums, spacious parks, and a wealth of activities for visitors.

A city of firsts, Pittsburgh was the city of origin for the Ferris Wheel, Bingo, the Zippo Lighter, the Banana Split, and the first World Series, to name just a few. It's not surprising that this inventive city offers visitors a host of attractions for all ages, from the Carnegie Museums to amusement parks, and unique shopping and dining in both downtown Pittsburgh and the suburbs.

Experience a spectacular view of downtown Pittsburgh, often referred to as the Golden Triangle, from the summit of Mount Washington. Take one of Pittsburgh's 19th-century cable cars to the top from Station Square and even enjoy a meal at one of the city's finest restaurants.

Be sure to visit the four museums of the Carnegie Institute that include the Carnegie Museum of Art, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Carnegie Science Center, and The Andy Warhol Museum.

Pittsburgh certainly has it covered for sports. The now five-time NFL Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, the four-time World Series Champion Pittsburgh Pirates, and two-time Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins all play here in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh. Visit Heinz Field and PNC Park, which are two of the most state-of-the-art stadiums in the country, and not to mention our collegiate scholastic teams.

While in town with the family, or if you just want to be a kid again yourself, be sure to visit Pittsburgh's Kennywood Amusement Park. The park bills itself as America's Finest Traditional Amusement Park. Get wet on the Pittsburgh Plunge, brave the new steel coaster, The Phantom's Revenge, or choose from an array of classic wooden coasters. If one park is not enough, check out Sandcastle Water Park or the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium. You are sure to find fun and adventure for all.

The personality of a city and its people lingers in a traveler's memory long after a visit. The Holiday Inn Pittsburgh Airport is a rare find: a modern hotel with all the amenities one expects. A focus on hometown pride, outstanding service, and a distinctive themed experience all combine to invite guests to return again and again.
