To get a great view of the city take this incline railway up to mt. Washington. It is a steep and exciting ride with amazing views and its only $5 per person for a round trip ticket. Park at the bottom because the parking is free.

So much fun to sit in these cars, amaze at the feat of building them on this incline, and enjoy the sky line of Pittsburgh. When you get to the top, you must spend the 50 cents to see the mechanics. Fascinating!

It was only $4-5 and it provides a great view of Pittsburgh. I was glad that I went and did it. It is a great thing to check out after the other museums close or go right after dinner and you can see the city lit up.

Inexpensive and fun ride for the whole family. Don't forget your camera ~ When you get to the top take the time to walk down to the look out. It's a beautiful view and great background for family pictures!!

I love to take visitors up the Incline. On a nice day, it shows Pittsburgh's skyline at it's best. It is 3.50 round trip and you need exact change. You pay at the top. There are change machines. It is something to do over and over in Pittsburgh.

Definitely worth the $6. I took a weekend trip to Pittsburgh for a concert at the Altar bar, and the day before we were looking for some fun, cheap things to do. This was definitely enjoyable. Went up the incline in a car by ourselves, and took pictures when we arrived at the top. Pretty neat coming from Columbus, Ohio... More

a great, and cheap experience. 3.50$ roundtrip. great museum at the top. the only downside is there no parking at the bottom and its a bit of walk to parking at station square. THe view is better than the monaghela incline, but it is harder to get to. we took monogahela up, walked the .9 mile to the duquesne and... More
