Unlocking Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh PA is known as the only city with an entrance, due to the breathtaking views for travelers coming through the Fort Pitt Tunnel onto the top deck of the Fort Pitt Bridge overlooking the city. From this vantage point, the confluence of all three rivers and the glittering skyscrapers of downtown are visible, creating a dramatic reveal of the city during both day and night. ACRL 2023 attendees traveling downtown from the Pittsburgh airport will have the opportunity to experience this spectacular entrance first-hand. Those conference-goers who are coming into Pittsburgh by train will disembark at Union Station, just steps away from many of the ACRL conference hotels. Whether you're exploring Pittsburgh by foot, incline, bike, rail, or trail, keep your eyes out for some of its secret (and not so secret) places.
