Get the most out of your entertainment budget when you visit Pittsburgh with these helpful cost-saving travel tips.
Seek out free & low-cost entertainment.
1) Start your day with a little exercise and some fresh air in the beloved Schenley Park, encompassing 456 acres of trails, woods, and attractions including a skating rink, golf, playgrounds, and so much more.
2) Meander through the beautiful market square — a spot for dining, shopping, people-watching, live music, and other special events. Grab a coffee or some lunch and marvel at this hub of activity.
3) On Friday nights, take advantage of half price admission to the largest museum in the country dedicated to a single artist: The Andy Warhol Museum! Visit between 5pm-10pm for $10 entry for adults, and $5 for children.
Take advantage of free services & amenities.
1) Enjoy two hours of complimentary WiFi anywhere downtown Pittsburgh — the perfect opportunity to catch up on email, research dining options, or surf the web.
2) Hop on the subway (known locally as the “T”) for a free ride within the Golden Triangle. Get on and off at key downtown stops, including Wood Street Station, US Steel Tower, First Avenue, and Gateway.
3) Have a car with you? No problem. On Sundays enjoy free downtown street parking!
Enjoy the city’s cheap eats.
Dining out on a budget doesn’t have to mean hitting the drive-thru in Pittsburgh. Quite the opposite, as there are plenty of restaurants with delicious menu options that’ll cost you less than $10 for a memorable dining experience.
1) Head to Shadyside for a true taste of thai at the ever-popular Noodlehead. Take your pick from delectable dishes like pork belly steamed buns ($6), noodle soups ($6), pad thai ($9), and much more. Heads up, this is a cash-only restaurant, but you’re welcome to BYOB with no corkage fees!
2) Have a craving for something sweet? Head to Waffallonia in Squirrel Hill for sugar waffles topped with whipped cream and fruit, coffee, ice cream, and other indulgences.
3) For a beer and some pub food, hit up D’s Six Pax & Dogz in Regent Square. Enjoy daily specials, like a large one-topping pizza for $10 on Tuesdays, and hot dog and fries for $6 on Wednesdays.
