Pittsburgh Travel FAQs

Yes. Car rentals are strongly recommended to tourists, as they’re the best way to get around the Steel City. While there are public transportation options in Pittsburgh, relying solely on buses/trains may limit which attractions you can reach, restricting you to strict travel schedules. A car rental provides more convenience and the freedom to explore. (Source)

Somewhat. Pittsburgh is not the most challenging city to drive in, but it is a major metropolis with its fair share of traffic. Additionally, Pittsburgh has several tunnels and major highways, so it's easy to get turned around. We recommend always navigating to your destination using a GPS or similar app. (Source)

Rush hour traffic occurs between 6:00 AM and 10:00 AM and between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM in Pittsburgh. You’ll likely experience heavier traffic congestion during rush hour traffic, especially on major highways and downtown areas. We recommend planning your travel plans outside of rush hour (when possible) for an easier driving experience. (Source)

Pittsburgh is best known for its dominant role in the United State’s steel industry. They are so famous for that role the city has been nicknamed “Steel City”, and their NFL team, the Steelers, chose their name to honor its city’s history. (Source)

The best time to visit Pittsburgh is in July and August. During the summer, the weather is much warmer, and there are several local annual festivals and events to enjoy. Alternatively, you can visit when the weather begins to cool down in September or October. However, you may encounter snowy weather in late November. (Source)
