Mount Washington Walking Tour (Self Guided), Pittsburgh

Mount Washington is a hill on the southern banks of the Monongahela River and Ohio River. Due to its elevated position, the top of the hill offers a spectacular view of Downtown Pittsburgh below. The Mount is a prime tourist attraction in the city, and many photos and drawings of the Pittsburgh skyline have originated here.

If you want to see what Pittsburgh looks like from above, take this self-guided walk. To reach the top of Mount Washington, use one of the two operating inclines (Duquesne Incline or Monongahela Incline), walk along the Grandview Avenue, then take the other incline back to the downtown. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes on the Grandview Avenue, should you need a place to sit down and enjoy the view. This guarantees to be one of the most scenic walks in your life.
