The best views of the city are from Mount Washington, and Grandview is easy to get to - just take an Incline up and you will be treated to great photo opportunities of the city. I recommend the West End Overlook for the best photos though!

Jul 15, 2019 · It's been just over a half-century since the overlooks were constructed along Grandview Avenue on Mount Washington. Since then, the platforms that provide panoramic views of the city skyline have been used for countless pictures.
- North Shore River Trail. If there is any view you've already seen of Pittsburgh on this list, the North Shore River Trial is likely it. The reason we are featuring this one is because for the longest time we were also in the group of people who had never ventured down to this gorgeous trail.
- The Highline. The Highline is one of the most ambitious restoration projects in Pittsburgh. This nearly 900,000 square foot former terminal space in South Side was, for many years, a commercial dead zone between Station Square and the business district on East Carson Street.
- The Color Park in South Side. Much like how the skyline can be viewed along a river trail in the North Side, the same is true for the South Side.

Although not a grand view like that other appropriately named street we all know of (I can't help myself, sorry), the lookout on Fineview has a great perspective of the city that features many iconic buildings, PNC Park, Acrisure Stadium, and several bridges which is a great complimentary spot to the more popular lookouts on Mount Washington.

Most people will take a few minutes to step out onto at least one of these mushroom shaped platforms to take photos of the city, a few selfies, or just admire the view. It’s sort of a small thrill trusting your safety to these structures, and I guarantee that if you spend eno...
Halfway through your walk at the intersection of Grandview Ave. and The McArdle Roadway, your walk will become a little more strenuous. At this point, you’ll have to put up with a slight incline for the next tenth of a mile. In addition to walking uphill, you’ll be unable to see the city skyline for about three-tenths of a mile, unless you know som...
I think you’ll find this walk to be time well-spent. If you want to change this walk along Grandview Avenue from a good experience to a great one, at the end, I would make a reservation at one of the restaurants up here with a table by the window. I don’t know what entrée I’d order or what adult beverage would accompany it, but I do know that there...
