Its breathtaking views

Mt. Washington is home to some of Pittsburgh's most recognized picturesque panoramas. This vantage point is well-known across the world, and it provides one of the most comprehensive views of the downtown area. It also has the Duquesne and Monongahela Inclines, which are two of the greatest spots to take in views of the Pittsburgh cityscape. No matter how many times you climb Mt. Washington, you will always see something new. Variations in the time of day, weather, local activities, and other factors all contribute to the dynamic vistas you see here.

You're probably within a few feet of the Cathedral of Learning everywhere you go in Oakland. The Cathedral of Learning at the Higher of Pittsburgh is the highest edifice in the Western Hemisphere dedicated to university education. A walk through the neighborhood is the greatest way to experience all Oakland has to offer. On the Friday night of Pitt's homecoming weekend in the fall, they discharge fireworks off the building's levels. If the Pitt football team wins, the building's spectacular orange victory lights will illuminate.
