Would you like to have an interesting and memorable holiday? You should definitely visit Pittsburgh. This is the “city of bridges”. Indeed, the city has more than 450 bridges, and this is more than in any other city in the United States. It is a “city of iron and smoke”, or “steel city” because Pittsburgh was once the metallurgical capital of the world.
This city has something to offer to your attention, namely a huge choice of all kinds of entertainment. In the daytime, taste whiskey at the Wigle Whiskey distillery in the Strip District, visit the concert hall or exhibition at the Andy Warhol Museum, and at night in front of you will open their doors noisy nightclubs located on East Carson Street.
To feel you comfortable it is better to rent a car, but be very careful on the roads. There are quite a few one-way streets in Pittsburgh, several difficult intersections, steep climbs, and a couple of highways with a complex system.
According to 14cars.com, one of the best car rentals in Pittsburgh is called Avis and a lot of young people turn to them when they need a car.
