Pittsburgh's three rivers are set as the center for the city's downtown. Whether it's the PP&G skyscraper, PNC Park or Heinz Field, the rivers showcase the lifeline of the city. Staying along the waterfront, you'll see picturesque views of the skyline at night, regattas during the summer, and the imposing stadiums that Pittsburgh professional sports call home. No matter if you're heading to play 18 or taking the family on a sightseeing trip, you're only a short drive from all of the action.
