1197 W Carson St
Pittsburgh, PA 15219
Scale Mount Washington in a 19th century cable car for a fun ride with breathtaking views. The ride is a 400-foot incline and brings you breathtaking views of the Pittsburgh skyline and the city’s three rivers. When uphill, visit the museum to learn more about Pittsburgh history as well as inclines from all over the world. A few restaurants overhanging the mountain are a stone’s throw away, and so is the stunning Grandview Overlook. The Duquesne Incline is cash-only so be prepared. Paid parking is available across the street from the Duquesne incline’s lower station. – Tripadvisor

Fun touristy thing to do when in Pittsburgh and it's cheap! You get amazing views on the ride and at the top. Think it is the best views of the city!
