Sightseeing
Located at "the point" (where two rivers converge to form the Ohio River) in downtown Pittsburgh, Point State Park is right on the water. Walk the paths and around the fountain at the point and you will see a 360 degree view of Pittsburgh--downtown, the South Side, Mount Washington, West End, the North Side, stadiums, etc. There is a history museum that chronicles the history of Fort Pitt/Fort Duquesne on site. Its a truly beautiful and unique place to take a stroll.
