Pittsburgh is special in so many ways. You can be in the culturally diverse Strip District at noon and then be a part of the 65,000 black and gold family to cheer on the Steelers at night. It has so many fantastic opportunities to enhance your education and so many museums that help you explore the world when staying right in western Pennsylvania.
But where the Steel City shines its brightest, is during the holiday season. Here are the top 3 best things to do in Pittsburgh to get you even more into the holiday spirit.
- The Christmas Tree at PPG PlaceThis one is a given. If you can beat the long lines and cold temperatures, the skating rink at PPG place is breathtaking every year and always a fun spot during the Christmas season.2. Duquesne Incline
Even though it’s open all year, the Duquesne Incline is special in the winter thanks to the blanket of snow that covers the city and adds to the amazing view when riding the incline and while on top of Mount Washington.
3. The Phipps Conservatory Winter Flower Show
The Phipps Conservatory is a special place on its own but during Christmas, the conservatory is lit up in a wide range of colored lights to add to the flowers that you’ll see on your walk. Definitely one of the most underrated events of the Pittsburgh Christmas celebration.
Hi, My name is Denise Craig-Lewis and I work for PSP Metrics. We are located downtown in the Frick Building.
These photos are great! We would like to use the Duquesne Incline with snow covered city photo for our annual December Holiday E-card to our clients.

Hi Denise. I really doubt these photos were original from our reporter, sorry. They should have credited the original photographer before posting on our school student newspaper. Best wishes though.
