Have your breath taken away as you travel up the Duquesne Incline. Once the main mode of transportation for Pittsburghers to get up the incredibly steep hills, nowadays the historic funicular takes guests up to the top of Mt. Washington for the best view of downtown. Children will get a kick out of the authentic car, the old photographs and artifacts in the upper station, and the ride up and down the mountain.
Sneak in a mini-retreat with your date at the ESSpa Kozmetika day spa, where you will be romantically refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated. Couples packages vary, but most include a champagne toast on arrival, an indulgent, 60-minute side-by-side massage, a four-course gourmet meal by candlelight and a dozen roses presented before departure.
Visit what Travel + Leisure named one of "America’s Coolest City Parks" in 2011. Schenley Park borders the University of Pittsburgh and the Carnegie Mellon University campuses, and is filled with people taking advantage of the park’s 450 acres of trails, woods and attractions—from an ice rink in the winter to outdoor movies in the summer.
