The Fort Pitt Tunnel. Should be a requirement that first timers can only enter the city this way.

Point State Park - such a relaxing and refreshing place to walk to on my lunch break. My son loves to visit it as well on the weekends, run along the river, get sprayed by the fountain, visit the Blockhouse, etc.

We were up on Mt. Washington around 9:15 PM the other evening and were shocked by how nice the Ferris Wheel looked in Point State Park. Really wish that was a permanent fixture. It would be a great tourist attraction.

The architecture was an easy choice for me. Downtown is like a master class in building design through the last 150 or so years. I like looking at the buildings from different eras and trying to imagine what it was like to live in the city during each time. There are some pretty cool alleys too with real film noir flavor.

It would be appropriate too, given that George Ferris (the Wheel's inventor) founded his company here in PGH.
