The Pittsburgh Airport is about fifteen miles from downtown. The 28X bus, complete with luggage racks, can take you to and from the airport from many locations around the city for approximately $2.00. Again, you can also take a cab from the airport and rental car services are avaliable. [Yellow Cab Company - (412) 665-8100] There is also a Hyatt Regency hotel adjacent to the airport if you require lodging. Leave a Comment

Pittsburgh's Airport is huge for a city of its size. At the center of the airport's terminal is a shopping mall, with plenty of shops and restaurants to occupy your time if you get stuck with a multi-hour layover. We actually have done some of our Christmas shopping their when we have flown to Pittsburgh to visit Mike's family. Leave a Comment

The new Pittsburgh International Airport was completed in 1992 and is located 7 miles west of downtown. It was an innovative design featuring the first midfield "hub-and-spoke" terminal in the world. One of its selling points when first opened was the Airmall which offered prices equal to the stores in town and was a draw for shoppers as well as travelers, but it must've taken a hit with increased security after 2001. Pittsburgh is US Airways' main US hub, though with the America West merger, the headquarters moved to Phoenix. Free wireless internet access is available throughout the terminal. From downtown Pittsburgh take the Fort Pitt Bridge to Interstate 279 South then follow signs to the airport. Leave a Comment

There are typically two ways to get to Pittsburgh from the airport. One is to travel around the outskirts Moon township and Sewickly. It's offers less traffic and a scenic trip down a road along the river. But if this is your first time to town, drive your rental car, convince your taxi driver or get whoever is driving you to take you through the Fort Pitt Tunnel. It may be bumper-bumper, it's not much to look at on your way to the tunnel, but it is WELL worth it on the way out. Coming out of the city side of the tunnel is like being blasted into a picture frame. From claustrophobic tunnel walls to a view of downtown and the point, it is a site to behold. Obviously better at night, it is still a striking introduction to the city. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Gateway Station by flora1 The "T" is what we call our light rail transit. Unfortunately, it only runs from the South Hills into the city and back out again. It is important to note, however, that you can hop on it within the city triangle (between the rivers) for free. Once you cross the river, you pay! This includes the buses! Leave a Comment

 Getting around by flora1 Visitors to the city often complain about the difficulty of getting around because of the odd shape of the city (a triangle!). There is a great color-coded sign system in place that lets you know where you are within the city. Each sign consists of a small color code, the area inside and outside the blue rivers. Below it is another color-coded sign to let you know where you are in the city, and any landmarks or points of interest nearby (marked with a "star"). This photo tells you you are at the Allegheny County Courthouse, and the sign is magenta because it is in the center of the city. They are very easy and informative to deal with.

The Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers converge in Pittsburgh to form the Ohio River. The Allegheny River begins in northern Pennsylvania, enters New York and returns to Pennsylvania to drain almost 12,000 square miles of the Allegheny Plateau. The Monongahela River watershed covers over 7,000 miles of Maryland, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania and is one of the most industrialized areas of the US. The Ohio River begins in Pittsburgh and runs 981 miles to Cairo, Illinois. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat
