I've lived in Pittsburgh my entire life, and you did such a great job of capturing nearly all the wonderful, quintessential things there are to do in the city. Pittsburgh is seriously so underrated- thank you for visiting!
True. I’m from Philadelphia and none of my Philly friends have ever visited Pittsburg. I think part of the reason is that there’s so many choices near Philly like New York and the east coast that Pittsburg sort of gets forgotten
@@producerk8247 decades ago...the sun never shone until noon! Even when there were no clouds above! The smoke and smog in Pittsburgh were almost as bad as Johnstown!! Except green trees grew in Pittsburgh. The pollution from the mills and Pennsylvania Mainline railroad killed all the trees in Johnstown. But since all the mills have been torn down and engines run on diesel....things are green like they were over a 150 years ago. And you can breathe the air!! If people ever needed to wear masks anywhere at any time it was definitely in those mill towns!! Roofs of the old houses still are orange-brown from the steel mills.
@@josephcernansky1794 Yes, I agree with you, it was a real pollution killer all around, but that was decades ago. I'm was talking about now, today, this decade.
@@producerk8247 According to the National Center for Environmental Information, Pittsburgh averages 59 clear days per year and 306 cloudy days. But to be fair, all of those cloudy days make the sunny days all the sunnier. 😊
@@KristianWontroba 59 Clear days, that refers to hardly any clouds in the sky. (Clear is defined by the NCDC as a day with zero to 3/10 average sky cover) Clear days are rare here yes, but sunny days with clouds are up to around 145 or more. Don't get wrong, I'm tired of grey, which is the norm here. Those days I just stay inside lol!!
Pittsburgher here: Nobody calls it Acrisure Stadium lol, it was bought by a company that's out-of-state and renamed to that just recently. It's still Heinz Field in our hearts.
British accent really fancying up the description of Pittsburgh. Then during the fireworks you just hear in the background"WOOO FUCK YEAAH"...There ya go, thats Pittsburgh 😂
Lifelong Pittsburgher here - you really maximized your time here! Thank you for coming here and making this video, it was such a good representation of the unique things we have to offer!
I was in Pittsburgh at the end of March for the Energy Exchange at the downtown convention center. I was expecting urban blight, a run-down steel town whose best days were past. Boy was I wrong. Pittsburgh has so much to offer, tons of attractions, beautiful city, scenic walks and along the river, great lookout and the Carnegie Museum is a must see. You are fortunate to live there.
Apparently that's Universal around PA because over here in Montgomery County it's the same things....roads and bridges are literally down for years when they go under construction sometimes. PENNDOT needs to be investigated I swear there's some insane corruption or something.
The reason the colors of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers are black and yellow (technically Aztec gold) is because the colors are derived from the Pittsburgh city seal and flag, which in turn come from the coat of arms of William Pitt 1st Earl of Chatham, whom Pittsburgh is named after! This is the same reason why some of Pittsburgh's iconic bridges are gold as well! The Lawrenceville neighborhood was founded in 1814 by William B. Foster, father of composer Stephen Foster (known as the father of American music; wrote pieces like Oh Susanna, Camptown Races, and My Old Kentucky Home), who was born there in 1826. It is named for Captain James Lawrence, hero of the War of 1812, famous for his dying words, "Don't Give Up The Ship!", which he uttered during the capture of the USS Chesapeake in June 1813. Besides the Duquesne Incline, there's also the Monongahela Incline! The Monongahela Incline is busier than the Duquesne Incline as the Monongahela Incline serves the Station Square entertainment complex and is easily accessible from the Station Square light-rail station! The Monongahela Incline opened in 1870 while the Duquesne Incline opened in 1877. Hungarian-American engineer Samuel Diescher worked on the Duquesne Incline while Caroline Endres (who ended up marrying Samuel) designed the Monongahela Incline with her father John Endres. Duquesne is in reference to Marquis Duquesne, who built Fort Duquesne at the confluence of the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers in 1754, while the name Monongahela comes from the Unami language and roughly translates to "falling banks". The Duquesne and Monongahela Incline stand out in that they're the only ones in the US that use 1524 mm gauge, a gauge grouped as part of 5 ft/1520 mm/Russian gauge, a track gauge standard used in places like Finland, Russia, and Mongolia! The gauge used to more common in the US as many railroads in the southern states used that gauge, but in 1886, around 11,500 miles of it were converted to 4 ft 9 in (1,448 mm) gauge.
I ❤ our inclines! That ride overlooking the rivers is one of a kind experience, especially in the brisk winter months....the crisp air is a refreshing wake up and the view is amazing! I ❤ our city and it's uniqueness....the tunnels, bridges, architecture, I would not want to be anywhere else
I’m a Pittsburgher but live in the west now. I still miss it. I miss the rolling hills and trees. You were there in December so it was cold and damp. Fall is my favorite season and the trees would have been so beautiful. It was nice of you to see a lot of the museums. So much fun. Wish you could have seen a Steeler game or Penguins game (hockey). Glad you had a good time. Best wishes!
Couple things to add: My girlfriend and I had our first date a few blocks from Industry Public House in a restaurant called Burghers and Brews. All of the burgers are named for things around Pittsburgh. Second: you have to come back and experience Kennywood, the theme park just outside of Pittsburgh. As far as I know, it's home to the only sports team themed ride in America.
My boyfriend used to work at the William Penn hotel and he even won an award for how good his service was! I also went to college on 7th Ave, 1 block from the bridge you walked on and lived on penn Ave. 2 blocks from The Point. I would go down there to study all the time.
Loved the video dude. I’m a fellow Brit and I’m keen to visit Pittsburgh and watch the Steelers! I just need to convince my wife now and think this video should help! 😊
i know its been two months since you commented but i really hope you're able to convince your wife! ive lived in the area for my entire life and i adore it more than words can express. theres something for everyone to do, whether you'd like to see a band live in a local venue or explore all the different ethnic restaurants that litter the city. i will warn you that the roads are notoriously awful and our sad excuse for a subway isn't the greatest lol
I will be visiting Britain within the next year. Hope I enjoy it had you did my second home town of Pittsburgh. Where are in Britain are you from? I want to go to look where my ancestors came from.
Pittsburgh native here, when you venture in the entire metro, you realize how awesome and diverse our city experience is. we truly have all 3 phases of life (urban, suburban, and rural)
@@thatcringyplaneguy Almost every city has its charms when you visit. However, when you live in an area for too long, you see everything there is to offer, and the bad sticks with you more than the good.
I love the video, I'm glad you had a great time here in Pittsburgh. As a local it was great seeing someone enjoy the lovely city I call home. Next time you come back you gotta try Primanti Bros Sandwiches 10/10. In Pittsburgh we embrace the words of Mr. Rogers and be a good neighbor and treat everyone like a neighbor, his influence is why this city feels more like a smaller town.
That definitely rings true with my experience :) I felt so welcome and loved the place. Will definitely be back soon and primanti bros is going on the list! Thank you Aaron 🙌
I play music on Mt. Washington on weekends and sorry I missed you! A great way to see the jumbled landscape for free is to ride the elevator to the top of the Cathedral of Learning and take in the view from all sides. Also try Luke Wholley's in the Strip District for a fun, authentic restaurant with plenty of character!
I am from Ohio and recently took the wife and kids to Pittsburgh for a weekend. It’s not the Pittsburgh I remember in the 80’s. So clean and even modern looking with all roads looking in good shape even. We seen The “museum of illusions”, “Carnegie science center” and point state park in the evening. We had a blast. We have traveled everywhere in the US and Canada, Pittsburgh had some of the nicest and most happy people of any city we’ve ever been to hands down. People out of the blue ask how you are, please and thank you every chance they get. We left enough activities to visit again, the zoo, art exhibit, escape room and boat tour…👍🏻
@@jayyoutube8790 I'm from Canonsburg and every time I go to the city, I always run into someone I know. Pittsburgh is a big small town. And yes we are super friendly.
Thank you so much for this great video. I’ve been to Pittsburgh three times last year and intend on moving there after I retire. You’ve shown places I’ve never heard of and am excited to visit this year. Thanks for your honesty and transparency in your reviews.
Check out Route 40 (Just south of Pittsburgh) and the Laurel mountains. We have so many places Ohiopyle, Jumonville Cross, Fort Necessity, George Washington's tavern, Falling Water (A Frank Lloyd Wright buit home), plus so much more. All within a small area....just beautiful.....we even have Amish that live there.
As far as the view from PNC Park, it's absolutely beautiful! As the sun goes down, and the city lights come on, you're treated to one of the best views this side of the Mississippi :D

Pittsburgh is one of the most underrated and nicest cities in America. A Filipina-American coworker of mine from Los Angeles was genuinely impressed by how kind the people were and how clean the city was. As somebody with roots in Western Pennsylvania, obviously I'm biased, but I feel that her experience and yours confirmed my perspective. Pittsburgh has really reinvented itself as a very pleasant and modern city
I crack up at how I’m watching this as if I’m getting a tour for the first time when in reality I’ve seen and done all of these activities plenty of times 😂
I'm a Brit that lives in Pittsburgh and it really is a great city. People are great, food is great, summer time the weather is very nice, it's small but it shouldn't deter people from coming. If you're ever back here, I'll make sure to take you to some bars hahaha
It's nice to see Pittsburgh being vlogged about. Many, especially coming from Americans still think we live in the past when it was steel mills and smog. Some say it's an ugly city with nothing to do or call us Pits-burgh. Obviously, that's not true. Thank you for visiting our city and shining a positive light on it and happy you enjoyed your stay. Sad sidenote: Been here all of my life and only been to three of the places you have. Randyland being the most recent, 3 weeks ago. I don't get out much, but I plan on changing that real soon. 😊
From a home-grown Pittsburgher, THANK YOU for doing such a wonderful job showing off our city! You brought tears to my eyes with your genuine curiosity and enjoyment! Please come back again!

If you ever make a trip back to Pittsburgh, I highly recommend the Pittsburgh Science Museum! They have a a TON of cool stuff to check out, a submarine tour of a sub sitting in the river that comes with the cost of your ticket (if you get there early enough :p ), and a planetarium :D Really cool place to visit
Thank you for actually diving into our city and not the typical sites. You really encapsulated what we are about. I think the thing we are most proud of, is the overall friendliness of our people. Plan a trip, visit us, and make friends. Don't worry if you didn't see it all, you'll be back.
Glad you enjoyed it! American cities aren't in the best place right now unfortunately but Pittsburgh sticks out as one of the really great ones. Hopefully every American city can be more like Pittsburgh soon!
I'm impressed by this. You did a much better job highlighting the city than a few other creators I've seen. Most of the time you hear people mention the incline and Primanti's and call it a day. You really did some exploring, very nice
What a great love letter to Pittsburgh. I attended school at the University of Pittsburgh back in the early 2000's and haven't been back since 2005. But this video has me really excited to take my wife and son and show them the city that i loved for 4 years. You also get a ton of credit for pronouncing places like Duquesne correctly (that one always trips people up).
You should come back lot has changed! Pitt Bradford brought me here years ago transplant from Buffalo, NY. Been to different cities always glad when I get home to Pittsburgh area.
Philadelphia born and raised, my child decided to go to college in Pittsburgh, an I absolutely fell in love! Wonderful art and food scene. Gorgeous architecture and warm, friendly people. A true gem.❤️
Another great thing about Pittsburgh is that when you need a break from the city you can hop on a bicycle and ride one of the best bike trails in the country all the way from downtown Pittsburgh to Cumberland, Maryland and then continue on an adjoining trail to Washington, DC. If you're not into bibycling, it's a short drive to multiple state parks in the Laurel Highlands
Thank you for loving my home. Pittsburgh is so special, not because it's some famous American city, but because of what those who live here have made it. It isn't perfect, but man is it home.
Wow great video - and you only visited the attractions. You would have been blown away by the neighborhoods. Pittsburgh is a city of many neighborhoods due to rivers and mountains that separate them. I am 75 and I grew up here - travelled some and retired briefly to Florida , but my heart was back in the 'burgh so I came home to stay. Thank you - you did a good job.
The glamorous turkey at 6:55 is an Ocellated turkey which is native to the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, Belize, and northern Guatemala! When they roost, Ocellated turkeys roost high in trees away from night-hunting predators such as jaguars. The fluffy ones you saw at 7:01 are mountain goats! They're native to the northern Cascades and Rockies like Glacier National Park. Despite their name mountain goat, they're not in the Capra genus, which is the genus that contains all true goats. Instead, they're in the genus Oreamnos (which they're the only living member of) and they're more closely related to the takin and chamois. In the high-altitude environments, sometimes above 13,000 ft, they are the largest mammal! Mountain goats are powerful but nimble and can jump nearly 12 feet in a single bound, and weigh between 150 and 220 pounds. Their coats help them to withstand winter temperatures as low as −46 C and winds of up to 160 kilometers per hour! The birds next to you at 11:02 are a Victoria crowned pigeon (the bluish-grey one; they're native to northern New Guinea) while the bigger one next to it is a Great argus! The Great argus looks similar an Indian peacock because both the Indian peafowl and the great argus are in the Pavonini tribe of the Phasianinae subfamily of the Phasianidae family, though not the same genus as the Indian peafowl are in the Pavo genus (along with the green peafowl) while the Great argus is in its own Argusianus genus! The great argus is native to the jungles of Borneo, Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula! The Great argus got its name from Argus, the hundred-eyed giant from Greek mythology, a reference to the many eye-like spots on the Great Argus’s wings and tail!
You’re so sweet to give a $10 tip ❤. My Dad probably 30 years ago told me always give $1.00 a bag or $1.00 a night in a hotel. I’m certain that probably translates to $3 or $5 today. Your tip was generous, but really made someone feel appreciated and valued, which probably made you feel good as well. My Dad believed so much in tipping and I’ve seen him tip $50 to a parking valet. I never saw, growing up, anyone come to our house to work on or drop off a pizza to our home without my Dad tipping a minimum of $20. If you can afford it…it’s worth it. I could hear his Pittsburgh accent.
I usually tip 20 percent of the cost of the thing I buy to the person and round it up. Something that's 10 dollars I would tip 2 dollars. More so if it's great service.
Excellent video. I had expected you, as a Brit, to roast the Steel City, but this was lovely. As an American, I tend to overlook Pittsburgh, but thank you for reminding me that it's worth a look.
Amazing video! As someone who grew up in Pittsburgh, you really captured the spirit of the city. The only thing you missed was the Mattress Factory, another amazing and quirky museum that's right near Randyland. Next time!
Hey I'm from here! (well, Etna, which is across the river from Lawrenceville and technically juuuuust outside the city line) I know you've gotten a lot of comments about Primanti's, and that's to be expected, but I think something that might be good to visit is Station Square (at the base of Mt.Washington) and specifically, the Pittsburgh Riverhounds. USL soccer team, the tier below MLS (think League One or so) and it's just such a fun thing to go and see.
I born In Southwest Pennsylvania and I still live there, I live east of Pittsburgh in the Rural/Suburban area my wife owns a Small Korean restaurant in Pittsburgh, great food and a great area with all the diversity of the University and the UPMC hospitals, Pittsburgh is a great city so much different than the old Pittsburgh. Great video and very informative 😊👍
Awww, I loved this video! I've lived in Pittsburgh my whole life and rarely, or have never, seen or been to the places you visited! I'm glad you enjoyed our city and thank you for the tour! ❤
I'm glad this popped into my recommended videos! I've lived in Pittsburgh my entire life and I've always believed it to be an underrated place to live. Our sports are world class and so is our hospitality. And the food and scenery isn't half bad either. I doubt I'll ever move from here
Our food is completely underrated in every aspect possible....I have traveled and even lived briefly (I always couldn't be away from da Burgh for very long) in other states, countries, etc...and our food is top notch....I used to ❤ blowing ppl minds out west when I ordered a side of fries and hard boiled eggs to put in a steak salad 😂....and don't bother trying to find authentic pierogi anywhere else than a local western PA church....
Been in Pittsburgh all my life. Awesome job so showcasing our amazing city. We are a melting pot with something for everyone. Ty for sharing your visit
The city is A LOT cleaner than it was 50 years ago. I drove home a kid I was in college with on my way to NY. I coudn't believe the smog and smoke over that city! But all the steel mills are gone. Now Pittsburgh is a kind of tourust destination - three rivers!
Well done. As a business traveler who has visited all of North America, much of Europe, a bit of the pacific rim, and lived in “the ‘burgh” for over 40 years, i am so proud to call this place home. 4 days does not do western Pennsylvania justice, but glad you came and hope you will consider returning.
Thanks for visiting Pittsburgh! It's always interesting to me, as a local, that someone would choose to visit Pittsburgh as I wouldn't think it's on the radar of most international travelers (or even many domestic ones). Glad you enjoyed it
Fellow Brit here. I have family in the US, and one of my cousins lived in Pittsburgh for several years. I visited her there a number of times, and totally fell in love with the city! Certainly very much overlooked by British tourists, even though BA used to have a daily flight there from Heathrow using a 747. The flight did make a stop in DC first, where sadly it seemed most passengers disembarked. If only they'd known what delights awaited them if they'd stuck around for that final short leg of the flight! P.S. I don’t think Randyland was there when I used to visit. But if it was, and my cousin suggested we should go there, I'd think she was talking about taking me to some sort of strip club!

Native Pittsburgher here! I adored this video and your sense of wonder and joy as you explored my hometown. You got in quite a lot! I'm especially glad to see that you went to the Cathedral of Learning and the Nationality Rooms. That's not as obvious a tourist destination as some of the other places you visited, and I always recommend people from out of town see it. I am surprised that you stayed at the Omni William Penn and didn't go to the speakeasy there. It's located in a real speakeasy location from Prohibition that has been gorgeously restored. And while Mt. Washington's view is lovely and holds a special place in my heart because my mom is from there and I spent lots of time there as a kid with my cousins at my Aunt and Uncle's house, if you come back, you really should go to the West End Overlook. Its view is head on to the Point, and it blows Mt. Washington's overlooks out of the water. Plus there's a really pretty park there. You'd also do well to come in the Summer to see the fountain at the Point turned on. June would be a good time because then you of the Three Rivers Arts Festival going on Downtown. Safe travels, and I hope you come back soon!
Not from Pittsburgh but I am from PA. In fact I’m much closer to the Jersey shore than Pittsburgh. I must say I’m impressed with this vid. It was very enjoyable to watch and I never knew Pittsburgh was so lovely.
People sleep on Pittsburgh, I've loved living here since I moved. The T-Rex skeleton is real. Carnegie is one of the locations which cares for a full in tact fossil model, most of the ones at other museums around the US are replicas.
Pittsburgh is home to Zambelli’s fireworks, one of the largest fireworks companies in the world! I was on Mount Washington to see their display for Pittsburgh’s 250th anniversary and to this day it’s the best fireworks display I have ever seen
Doctor Zambelli who is now head of the company since his father died had put on many spectacular shows for us in the nearby town of Rochester where he has his practice. I live 30 miles away in Beaver County and he put on a great show this year for us showing off new fireworks that won't be out until next year in a preview for his customers at out annual Beaver County Boom festival where they set them off on a barge where the Beaver River meets the Ohio. You can see them all over the valley. He also did my mother's cataract surgery.
I spent a bit of time there in my final year of architecture school. This was a long time ago (1989-ish), but that city just vibed with me: the history, the terrain, the districts, and most of all the people - such cool people. Ever since that experience, I always told myself if I ever relocated away from my home town, I’d find a way to make a life in Pittsburgh. Since it’s been more than a minute since my time there, this video was interesting as some things were familiar and some very new to me. Thanks for posting it!

I have lived in Pittsburgh my whole life and I love it. If you are ever back I’d recommend walking around the strip district during the day. So many family owned businesses including my families. I work at 3 different places there and it’s such a wonderful community
This was a great picture of Pittsburgh, where my family has lived since 1853. Unfortunate that you missed Primanti’s and Kennywood Park. Please do come back some time, and we will take you to a Steelers game and make a proper Yinzer of you! Some people call Pittsburgh the affordable San Francisco.
Oh ya Kennywood just to see the historic land marks Merry Go Round, Racer, and Jack Rabbit but unfortunately closed in winter. You really need to visit in the summer and some of the live music festivals
I spent 6 weeks in this city while my dad was at the VA there. I'm from NY. I had a great time though. I felt like it was very clean, people were very friendly, very cool gothic architecture. Just a very warm atmosphere. 1 week was in the summer and it was a very cool time to see it. The other 5 weeks were winter, but a cool city for sure
Those were my dearest friends you had the chance to meet at Redbeard's! I know you helped make their new years a special one 💫💕 Peace and love be with your kind soul!
I think I just watched an episode of “This Is Your Life!” I went to high school with Randy Gilson, attended classes in the Nationality Rooms at Pitt, staffed a conference at the William Penn Hotel, and I rode the incline to Mt. Washington to propose to my wife at an overlook. I really enjoyed your vlog…yinz should come back to tahn soon!
Back in the 1920s, President Litchfield wanted to build a skyscraper that would house the whole university, the Cathedral of Learning. The board of trustees wouldn't give him the funds, so he went to the city's school children. Kids all over Pittsburgh gave pennies and nickels to build the Cathedral of Learning. My dad was one of the contributors as a child. As an adult, going to law school, he went to class in the building as it was being built.
Nice review of Pittsburgh. I am from across the state of Pennsylvania and I have never been disappointed in any of my visits to Pittsburgh as there is so much to this wonderful town. You did a great job showing its majesty.

I had to go back and listen close, but I caught the "FUCK YEAH!!"😂😂😂😂😂😂 That was great😅 Appreciate you pointing that out✌️❤️🫡
Right as he says it's so wholesome hahaha 😂. Not saying that a Fuck Yeah can't be wholesome, but it was funny
New Years Eve fireworks aren't much but you should come back for the Fourth of July. Fantastic and set to music.

Or up a stairway.
Apparently that's Universal around PA because over here in Montgomery County it's the same things....roads and bridges are literally down for years when they go under construction sometimes. PENNDOT needs to be investigated I swear there's some insane corruption or something.
I went to Carnegie Mellon University. Great place. Incredible museums, too.
"...it's a little bit chilly this morning, it's been raining." and that's it! That's the Pitt!
The people of Western PA are real as hell. Much respect.
They're a little too soft around the edges speaking as someone raised in MA but they're certainly an alright lot.
Soft around the edges. ..

I’m so happy you enjoyed our little city. We love it and have a ton of pride in our city ❤
I have lived her for my whole life, and you have seen alot of the great stuff
You captured all this stunning stuff beautifully.
When in Pittsburgh, you're never really heading away from the river... You're just heading towards the next river.
The reason the colors of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers are black and yellow (technically Aztec gold) is because the colors are derived from the Pittsburgh city seal and flag, which in turn come from the coat of arms of William Pitt 1st Earl of Chatham, whom Pittsburgh is named after! This is the same reason why some of Pittsburgh's iconic bridges are gold as well! The Lawrenceville neighborhood was founded in 1814 by William B. Foster, father of composer Stephen Foster (known as the father of American music; wrote pieces like Oh Susanna, Camptown Races, and My Old Kentucky Home), who was born there in 1826. It is named for Captain James Lawrence, hero of the War of 1812, famous for his dying words, "Don't Give Up The Ship!", which he uttered during the capture of the USS Chesapeake in June 1813.
Besides the Duquesne Incline, there's also the Monongahela Incline! The Monongahela Incline is busier than the Duquesne Incline as the Monongahela Incline serves the Station Square entertainment complex and is easily accessible from the Station Square light-rail station! The Monongahela Incline opened in 1870 while the Duquesne Incline opened in 1877. Hungarian-American engineer Samuel Diescher worked on the Duquesne Incline while Caroline Endres (who ended up marrying Samuel) designed the Monongahela Incline with her father John Endres. Duquesne is in reference to Marquis Duquesne, who built Fort Duquesne at the confluence of the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers in 1754, while the name Monongahela comes from the Unami language and roughly translates to "falling banks". The Duquesne and Monongahela Incline stand out in that they're the only ones in the US that use 1524 mm gauge, a gauge grouped as part of 5 ft/1520 mm/Russian gauge, a track gauge standard used in places like Finland, Russia, and Mongolia! The gauge used to more common in the US as many railroads in the southern states used that gauge, but in 1886, around 11,500 miles of it were converted to 4 ft 9 in (1,448 mm) gauge.
I ❤ our inclines! That ride overlooking the rivers is one of a kind experience, especially in the brisk winter months....the crisp air is a refreshing wake up and the view is amazing! I ❤ our city and it's uniqueness....the tunnels, bridges, architecture, I would not want to be anywhere else
The fact you went to Randyland totally ups the street cred of this video!
Thank you for stopping by and shouting out our great city!! 💓💓💓💓
The dude screaming “f*** yeah!” @23:14 just as you’re calling it wholesome is amazing
I’m from the county to the northwest of Pittsburgh (Beaver County) and I love seeing people visit our city!
I’m a Pittsburgher but live in the west now. I still miss it. I miss the rolling hills and trees. You were there in December so it was cold and damp. Fall is my favorite season and the trees would have been so beautiful. It was nice of you to see a lot of the museums. So much fun. Wish you could have seen a Steeler game or Penguins game (hockey). Glad you had a good time. Best wishes!
God this is surreal. Living in Pittsburgh my entire life and seeing someone who's never been to Pittsburgh before experience it
Couple things to add: My girlfriend and I had our first date a few blocks from Industry Public House in a restaurant called Burghers and Brews. All of the burgers are named for things around Pittsburgh. Second: you have to come back and experience Kennywood, the theme park just outside of Pittsburgh. As far as I know, it's home to the only sports team themed ride in America.
My boyfriend used to work at the William Penn hotel and he even won an award for how good his service was! I also went to college on 7th Ave, 1 block from the bridge you walked on and lived on penn Ave. 2 blocks from The Point. I would go down there to study all the time.
Loved the video dude. I’m a fellow Brit and I’m keen to visit Pittsburgh and watch the Steelers! I just need to convince my wife now and think this video should help! 😊
You really should do it. I’ve been 5 times for games and it’s fantastic. Try to go early in the season though as it gets very cold after mid October.
i know its been two months since you commented but i really hope you're able to convince your wife! ive lived in the area for my entire life and i adore it more than words can express. theres something for everyone to do, whether you'd like to see a band live in a local venue or explore all the different ethnic restaurants that litter the city. i will warn you that the roads are notoriously awful and our sad excuse for a subway isn't the greatest lol
I just mentioned that you can go anywhere in the world and say “Pittsburgh” and everyone knows the steelers
I will be visiting Britain within the next year. Hope I enjoy it had you did my second home town of Pittsburgh. Where are in Britain are you from? I want to go to look where my ancestors came from.
Lose the dudetalk. It's cringe.
Pittsburgh native here, when you venture in the entire metro, you realize how awesome and diverse our city experience is. we truly have all 3 phases of life (urban, suburban, and rural)
There is so much history and culture in Pittsburgh. I wasn't expecting to love it so much when I moved to the area 23 years ago, but I absolutely do.
I just got approval from my employer to move to Pennsylvania and my son and I are planning our move to the Pittsburgh area now. :)
Pittsburgh is by far the best city in the US.
Few people from Pittsburgh would ever say that.
@@thatcringyplaneguy Almost every city has its charms when you visit. However, when you live in an area for too long, you see everything there is to offer, and the bad sticks with you more than the good.
I love the video, I'm glad you had a great time here in Pittsburgh. As a local it was great seeing someone enjoy the lovely city I call home. Next time you come back you gotta try Primanti Bros Sandwiches 10/10.
In Pittsburgh we embrace the words of Mr. Rogers and be a good neighbor and treat everyone like a neighbor, his influence is why this city feels more like a smaller town.
That definitely rings true with my experience :) I felt so welcome and loved the place. Will definitely be back soon and primanti bros is going on the list! Thank you Aaron 🙌
@@TheWorstTraveller go to the Strip District location during the day. You'll get the authentic experience there.
I play music on Mt. Washington on weekends and sorry I missed you!
A great way to see the jumbled landscape for free is to ride the elevator to the top of the Cathedral of Learning and take in the view from all sides. Also try Luke Wholley's in the Strip District for a fun, authentic restaurant with plenty of character!
I am from Ohio and recently took the wife and kids to Pittsburgh for a weekend. It’s not the Pittsburgh I remember in the 80’s. So clean and even modern looking with all roads looking in good shape even. We seen The “museum of illusions”, “Carnegie science center” and point state park in the evening. We had a blast. We have traveled everywhere in the US and Canada, Pittsburgh had some of the nicest and most happy people of any city we’ve ever been to hands down. People out of the blue ask how you are, please and thank you every chance they get. We left enough activities to visit again, the zoo, art exhibit, escape room and boat tour…👍🏻
@@jayyoutube8790 I'm from Canonsburg and every time I go to the city, I always run into someone I know. Pittsburgh is a big small town. And yes we are super friendly.
Thank you so much for this great video. I’ve been to Pittsburgh three times last year and intend on moving there after I retire. You’ve shown places I’ve never heard of and am excited to visit this year. Thanks for your honesty and transparency in your reviews.
Check out Route 40 (Just south of Pittsburgh) and the Laurel mountains. We have so many places Ohiopyle, Jumonville Cross, Fort Necessity, George Washington's tavern, Falling Water (A Frank Lloyd Wright buit home), plus so much more. All within a small area....just beautiful.....we even have Amish that live there.
You *_want_* to live in Pittsburgh?!
Interesting.
As far as the view from PNC Park, it's absolutely beautiful! As the sun goes down, and the city lights come on, you're treated to one of the best views this side of the Mississippi :D
If you're ever back, check out St Anthony's Chapel. It houses the largest collection of Relics outside of the Vatican.
As a born and raised and still living in Pittsburgh since 1975, I appreciate your tour! Hope you come back

Pittsburgh is one of the most underrated and nicest cities in America. A Filipina-American coworker of mine from Los Angeles was genuinely impressed by how kind the people were and how clean the city was. As somebody with roots in Western Pennsylvania, obviously I'm biased, but I feel that her experience and yours confirmed my perspective. Pittsburgh has really reinvented itself as a very pleasant and modern city
I crack up at how I’m watching this as if I’m getting a tour for the first time when in reality I’ve seen and done all of these activities plenty of times 😂
I was downtown watching the fireworks that evening as well! Stop back soon. Cheers.
Tom, you're a British citizen, and I'm the American citizen!
I live on the other side of the state, I think I need to drive the 4 hours and visit Pittsburgh now!
I do love a roadtrip! And it’s a pretty darn good destination to end up at :)
You MUST go back.... you did not get a Primanti Brothers sandwich!!! It will be worth the return trip!❤🎉
Ayy when you’re driving here get some Sheetz along the way. Way better than Wawa
@@aridianknight3576 no way, sheetz is always dirty. Turkey Hill gang
I live in Pittsburgh, and I enjoy seeing other people enjoying this city. This is so well done and reminded me of everything I love about living here!
I'm a Brit that lives in Pittsburgh and it really is a great city. People are great, food is great, summer time the weather is very nice, it's small but it shouldn't deter people from coming. If you're ever back here, I'll make sure to take you to some bars hahaha
Thanks for building the original city for us Americans, it looked a little different back then ... but it turned out quite nice.
It's nice to see Pittsburgh being vlogged about. Many, especially coming from Americans still think we live in the past when it was steel mills and smog. Some say it's an ugly city with nothing to do or call us Pits-burgh. Obviously, that's not true. Thank you for visiting our city and shining a positive light on it and happy you enjoyed your stay.
Sad sidenote: Been here all of my life and only been to three of the places you have. Randyland being the most recent, 3 weeks ago. I don't get out much, but I plan on changing that real soon.
😊
The dinosaur section is always my favorite part of this museum
I wished that you'd went to Primanti Bros. It's one of my favorite restaurants
From a home-grown Pittsburgher, THANK YOU for doing such a wonderful job showing off our city! You brought tears to my eyes with your genuine curiosity and enjoyment! Please come back again!

If you ever make a trip back to Pittsburgh, I highly recommend the Pittsburgh Science Museum! They have a a TON of cool stuff to check out, a submarine tour of a sub sitting in the river that comes with the cost of your ticket (if you get there early enough :p ), and a planetarium :D Really cool place to visit
Thank you for actually diving into our city and not the typical sites. You really encapsulated what we are about. I think the thing we are most proud of, is the overall friendliness of our people. Plan a trip, visit us, and make friends. Don't worry if you didn't see it all, you'll be back.
Glad you enjoyed it! American cities aren't in the best place right now unfortunately but Pittsburgh sticks out as one of the really great ones. Hopefully every American city can be more like Pittsburgh soon!
I'm impressed by this. You did a much better job highlighting the city than a few other creators I've seen. Most of the time you hear people mention the incline and Primanti's and call it a day. You really did some exploring, very nice
Personally, I think Primanti's SUCKS!! WAY OVER-RATED!! and your incline is small.
What a great love letter to Pittsburgh. I attended school at the University of Pittsburgh back in the early 2000's and haven't been back since 2005. But this video has me really excited to take my wife and son and show them the city that i loved for 4 years. You also get a ton of credit for pronouncing places like Duquesne correctly (that one always trips people up).
You should come back lot has changed! Pitt Bradford brought me here years ago transplant from Buffalo, NY. Been to different cities always glad when I get home to Pittsburgh area.
He missed on Carnegie tho😅
Philadelphia born and raised, my child decided to go to college in Pittsburgh, an I absolutely fell in love! Wonderful art and food scene. Gorgeous architecture and warm, friendly people. A true gem.❤️
Another great thing about Pittsburgh is that when you need a break from the city you can hop on a bicycle and ride one of the best bike trails in the country all the way from downtown Pittsburgh to Cumberland, Maryland and then continue on an adjoining trail to
Washington, DC. If you're not into bibycling, it's a short drive to multiple state parks in the Laurel Highlands
Also, about an hour and a half to McConnells Mills state park and Moraine state park which are absolutely beautiful places.
Thank you for loving my home. Pittsburgh is so special, not because it's some famous American city, but because of what those who live here have made it. It isn't perfect, but man is it home.
Wow great video - and you only visited the attractions. You would have been blown away by the neighborhoods. Pittsburgh is a city of many neighborhoods due to rivers and mountains that separate them. I am 75 and I grew up here - travelled some and retired briefly to Florida , but my heart was back in the 'burgh so I came home to stay. Thank you - you did a good job.
Thank you for visiting & enjoying my home town & showing ❤
Thank you for coming to our city, it never loses its appeal so come back soon🇺🇸
The glamorous turkey at 6:55 is an Ocellated turkey which is native to the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, Belize, and northern Guatemala! When they roost, Ocellated turkeys roost high in trees away from night-hunting predators such as jaguars. The fluffy ones you saw at 7:01 are mountain goats! They're native to the northern Cascades and Rockies like Glacier National Park. Despite their name mountain goat, they're not in the Capra genus, which is the genus that contains all true goats. Instead, they're in the genus Oreamnos (which they're the only living member of) and they're more closely related to the takin and chamois. In the high-altitude environments, sometimes above 13,000 ft, they are the largest mammal! Mountain goats are powerful but nimble and can jump nearly 12 feet in a single bound, and weigh between 150 and 220 pounds. Their coats help them to withstand winter temperatures as low as −46 C and winds of up to 160 kilometers per hour!
The birds next to you at 11:02 are a Victoria crowned pigeon (the bluish-grey one; they're native to northern New Guinea) while the bigger one next to it is a Great argus! The Great argus looks similar an Indian peacock because both the Indian peafowl and the great argus are in the Pavonini tribe of the Phasianinae subfamily of the Phasianidae family, though not the same genus as the Indian peafowl are in the Pavo genus (along with the green peafowl) while the Great argus is in its own Argusianus genus! The great argus is native to the jungles of Borneo, Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula! The Great argus got its name from Argus, the hundred-eyed giant from Greek mythology, a reference to the many eye-like spots on the Great Argus’s wings and tail!
That particular Argus pheasant is named Gus for anyone curious, he's also a very good boy
You’re so sweet to give a $10 tip ❤. My Dad probably 30 years ago told me always give $1.00 a bag or $1.00 a night in a hotel. I’m certain that probably translates to $3 or $5 today.
Your tip was generous, but really made someone feel appreciated and valued, which probably made you feel good as well.
My Dad believed so much in tipping and I’ve seen him tip $50 to a parking valet. I never saw, growing up, anyone come to our house to work on or drop off a pizza to our home without my Dad tipping a minimum of $20.
If you can afford it…it’s worth it.
I could hear his Pittsburgh accent.
Well, it was $10 or $0. Those awkward moments for us foreigners.
I usually tip 20 percent of the cost of the thing I buy to the person and round it up. Something that's 10 dollars I would tip 2 dollars. More so if it's great service.
Come back in the summer. You can go to Kennywood.
Walk around the Strip District.
Go to Fallingwater.
Pittsburgh is a great city with great people!
Excellent video. I had expected you, as a Brit, to roast the Steel City, but this was lovely. As an American, I tend to overlook Pittsburgh, but thank you for reminding me that it's worth a look.
Amazing video! As someone who grew up in Pittsburgh, you really captured the spirit of the city. The only thing you missed was the Mattress Factory, another amazing and quirky museum that's right near Randyland. Next time!
Hey I'm from here! (well, Etna, which is across the river from Lawrenceville and technically juuuuust outside the city line) I know you've gotten a lot of comments about Primanti's, and that's to be expected, but I think something that might be good to visit is Station Square (at the base of Mt.Washington) and specifically, the Pittsburgh Riverhounds. USL soccer team, the tier below MLS (think League One or so) and it's just such a fun thing to go and see.
I born In Southwest Pennsylvania and I still live there, I live east of Pittsburgh in the Rural/Suburban area my wife owns a Small Korean restaurant in Pittsburgh, great food and a great area with all the diversity of the University and the UPMC hospitals, Pittsburgh is a great city so much different than the old Pittsburgh. Great video and very informative 😊👍
Awww, I loved this video! I've lived in Pittsburgh my whole life and rarely, or have never, seen or been to the places you visited! I'm glad you enjoyed our city and thank you for the tour! ❤
You need to get out more Cindy!
@@johnmcnulty4425You're right, I really do! But home is so comfy and I actually like all the people there lol
I'm glad this popped into my recommended videos! I've lived in Pittsburgh my entire life and I've always believed it to be an underrated place to live. Our sports are world class and so is our hospitality. And the food and scenery isn't half bad either. I doubt I'll ever move from here
Me either .. 😊
best city in the country. thanks for showcasing it. love from pittsburgh!
Our food is completely underrated in every aspect possible....I have traveled and even lived briefly (I always couldn't be away from da Burgh for very long) in other states, countries, etc...and our food is top notch....I used to ❤ blowing ppl minds out west when I ordered a side of fries and hard boiled eggs to put in a steak salad 😂....and don't bother trying to find authentic pierogi anywhere else than a local western PA church....
I gotta say, you are so naturally enjoyable to watch! Sincere, kind, and open minded to the diversity and adventure of life!
Glad yinz had a good time in Pittsburgh, come back soon!
yinz is plural, not singular - you're trying too hard
Yinz are welcome anytime! We definitely have our own language 😊
@@Marcel_Audubon the person you replied to also has a "don't tread on me" pfp maybe we shouldn't interact
@@Phlorochyll good eye ... I'll tread lightly, but would be a pity not to tread at all!😆
Great job of showing our city that is often ranked as America's most livable!
Been in Pittsburgh all my life. Awesome job so showcasing our amazing city. We are a melting pot with something for everyone. Ty for sharing your visit
Haha def a local Pittsburgher who shouted “Fuck yeah!” at the fireworks lol.
Pittsburgh is one of my favorite cities.
The city is A LOT cleaner than it was 50 years ago. I drove home a kid I was in college with on my way to NY. I coudn't believe the smog and smoke over that city! But all the steel mills are gone. Now Pittsburgh is a kind of tourust destination - three rivers!
Well done. As a business traveler who has visited all of North America, much of Europe, a bit of the pacific rim, and lived in “the ‘burgh” for over 40 years, i am so proud to call this place home. 4 days does not do western Pennsylvania justice, but glad you came and hope you will consider returning.
You opened my eyes to a city that I've known forever and obviously not much at all.
Loved your video, I'm glad you had a great time here in the Burgh! I'm born and raised here, hope you come back one day for a Steeler game! 💯
Thanks for visiting Pittsburgh! It's always interesting to me, as a local, that someone would choose to visit Pittsburgh as I wouldn't think it's on the radar of most international travelers (or even many domestic ones). Glad you enjoyed it
Love the Worst Traveller Awards, poor Dodo missing out again 😅 great video. Some amazing architecture in Pittsburg
Thank you Martin! I know 🥲 it’s always ‘where is dodo?’ And never ‘how is dodo?’ 😭😂
Fellow Brit here. I have family in the US, and one of my cousins lived in Pittsburgh for several years. I visited her there a number of times, and totally fell in love with the city! Certainly very much overlooked by British tourists, even though BA used to have a daily flight there from Heathrow using a 747. The flight did make a stop in DC first, where sadly it seemed most passengers disembarked. If only they'd known what delights awaited them if they'd stuck around for that final short leg of the flight!
P.S. I don’t think Randyland was there when I used to visit. But if it was, and my cousin suggested we should go there, I'd think she was talking about taking me to some sort of strip club!
Thank you for coming and doing my beloved Pittsburgh justice. You are welcome back anytime.

Native Pittsburgher here! I adored this video and your sense of wonder and joy as you explored my hometown. You got in quite a lot! I'm especially glad to see that you went to the Cathedral of Learning and the Nationality Rooms. That's not as obvious a tourist destination as some of the other places you visited, and I always recommend people from out of town see it.
I am surprised that you stayed at the Omni William Penn and didn't go to the speakeasy there. It's located in a real speakeasy location from Prohibition that has been gorgeously restored. And while Mt. Washington's view is lovely and holds a special place in my heart because my mom is from there and I spent lots of time there as a kid with my cousins at my Aunt and Uncle's house, if you come back, you really should go to the West End Overlook. Its view is head on to the Point, and it blows Mt. Washington's overlooks out of the water. Plus there's a really pretty park there. You'd also do well to come in the Summer to see the fountain at the Point turned on. June would be a good time because then you of the Three Rivers Arts Festival going on Downtown. Safe travels, and I hope you come back soon!
Not from Pittsburgh but I am from PA. In fact I’m much closer to the Jersey shore than Pittsburgh. I must say I’m impressed with this vid. It was very enjoyable to watch and I never knew Pittsburgh was so lovely.
People sleep on Pittsburgh, I've loved living here since I moved. The T-Rex skeleton is real. Carnegie is one of the locations which cares for a full in tact fossil model, most of the ones at other museums around the US are replicas.
Pittsburgh is home to Zambelli’s fireworks, one of the largest fireworks companies in the world! I was on Mount Washington to see their display for Pittsburgh’s 250th anniversary and to this day it’s the best fireworks display I have ever seen
Doctor Zambelli who is now head of the company since his father died had put on many spectacular shows for us in the nearby town of Rochester where he has his practice. I live 30 miles away in Beaver County and he put on a great show this year for us showing off new fireworks that won't be out until next year in a preview for his customers at out annual Beaver County Boom festival where they set them off on a barge where the Beaver River meets the Ohio. You can see them all over the valley. He also did my mother's cataract surgery.
having lived here since 1996 it's awesome to see someone get this excited about these things
Tom, you had a great time on your trip to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania!
I spent a bit of time there in my final year of architecture school. This was a long time ago (1989-ish), but that city just vibed with me: the history, the terrain, the districts, and most of all the people - such cool people. Ever since that experience, I always told myself if I ever relocated away from my home town, I’d find a way to make a life in Pittsburgh.
Since it’s been more than a minute since my time there, this video was interesting as some things were familiar and some very new to me. Thanks for posting it!
I live in mt Washington its chill
As a Pittsburgher I really think you did a nice, and fair, job. Glad you enjoyed.

Hello worst Traveller, I'm Dennis Daniels from Cleveland, Ohio! Thanks for sharing your video about visiting Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania!
Hello Dennis! Nice to meet you :) I’ve never been to Ohio but would love to visit one day 🙌
🌼From the Northern Panhandle of 🏞West Virginia in Appalachia🏞, so we enjoy the myriad delights of Pittsburgh, for sure❣
Thank you for coming to the Burgh and enjoying our culture, cuisine, and views! I love to see people have fun in our city! Come back anytime!
I have lived in Pittsburgh my whole life and I love it. If you are ever back I’d recommend walking around the strip district during the day. So many family owned businesses including my families. I work at 3 different places there and it’s such a wonderful community
As a Philadelphia local, I love Pittsburgh. It's a city with a home-y feeling. Love the grit in that city. So much character.
This was a great picture of Pittsburgh, where my family has lived since 1853. Unfortunate that you missed Primanti’s and Kennywood Park. Please do come back some time, and we will take you to a Steelers game and make a proper Yinzer of you! Some people call Pittsburgh the affordable San Francisco.
That sounds great!!!! I’ll go too!! 😂
Oh ya Kennywood just to see the historic land marks Merry Go Round, Racer, and Jack Rabbit but unfortunately closed in winter. You really need to visit in the summer and some of the live music festivals
@@AFL67pitt Do they still have the Halloween nights going on in November?
@@KMC1367Yup. Phantom Fright Night
@@AFL67pitt Don’t forget the Old Mill, Kennywood’s oldest attraction.
Glad you enjoyed your time in the Burgh and thanks for showcasing my beautiful home.
I spent 6 weeks in this city while my dad was at the VA there. I'm from NY. I had a great time though. I felt like it was very clean, people were very friendly, very cool gothic architecture. Just a very warm atmosphere. 1 week was in the summer and it was a very cool time to see it. The other 5 weeks were winter, but a cool city for sure
Those were my dearest friends you had the chance to meet at Redbeard's! I know you helped make their new years a special one 💫💕 Peace and love be with your kind soul!
I was actually talking to Abby on Facetime as she came into the bar which was such a fun way to try to spend new years doing something fun
I think I just watched an episode of “This Is Your Life!” I went to high school with Randy Gilson, attended classes in the Nationality Rooms at Pitt, staffed a conference at the William Penn Hotel, and I rode the incline to Mt. Washington to propose to my wife at an overlook. I really enjoyed your vlog…yinz should come back to tahn soon!
Back in the 1920s, President Litchfield wanted to build a skyscraper that would house the whole university, the Cathedral of Learning. The board of trustees wouldn't give him the funds, so he went to the city's school children. Kids all over Pittsburgh gave pennies and nickels to build the Cathedral of Learning. My dad was one of the contributors as a child. As an adult, going to law school, he went to class in the building as it was being built.
My grandpap was in 2nd grade in Lawrenceville & gave a nickel toward building the Cathedral!
Could you imagine spare change from children being able to fund a massive building like that now 😂
Nice to meet you, Tom!
By the end of the video, you learned the name of all three rivers... Bravo, great video. Good luck with what you do.
Nice review of Pittsburgh. I am from across the state of Pennsylvania and I have never been disappointed in any of my visits to Pittsburgh as there is so much to this wonderful town. You did a great job showing its majesty.
