You start this incredible twin-centre adventure with three full days in Pittsburgh, giving you ample opportunity to explore this true renaissance city. To give you the best possible start and orientation, we have included a Hop-on Hop-off tour, allowing you to explore the city’s top attractions at your own pace. Be sure to have a hearty breakfast on your second morning here, you’ll need it as we have included a Pittsburgh Bike & Brewery Tour. You will ride around some of Pittsburgh’s historic districts stopping at FOUR local breweries along the way. Here you will learn about the past, present, and future of beer making in Pittsburgh and of course sample somewhere close to 10 different varieties of beer! For your last full day in Pittsburgh, we have allowed a free day for you to explore any sights you may not have visited already. Make sure you visit the Andy Warhol Museum, the largest museum dedicated to a single artist’s life and work, or perhaps you fancy hitting the water on a kayak adventure. Pittsburgh’s rivers are ideal for sculling, kayaking, and canoeing. On the Allegheny River in the heart of Downtown Pittsburgh, you can rent solo and tandem kayaks, canoes, and hydro bikes for peaceful urban exploration. If your head doesn’t hit the pillow early on an evening, there are lots of great venues to enjoy dining and entertainment. We highly recommend spending an evening at the riverfront entertainment complex at Station Square.
