No matter whether you here during the day or night, this, in my humble opinion, is the best view of Pittsburgh (provided, of course, that the weather cooperates). The Duquense Incline is a must-see! More

We always take visitors here when they come to town. There is free parking at the bottom for incline visitors (beware however this attraction is not wheelchair accessible).

The Duquesne Incline is a jewel. I just moved to the Pittsburgh area and wanted to venture downtown and see the skyline. Well, the Duquesne Incline (pronounced Doo-cane) is the ticket. The parking is free in the parking lot on West Carson and It's a mere $4.50 per adult as of this review for a roundtrip ticket aboard a cable... More
