That is difficult to do when you have rolling hills.
And that means building bridges.
We are home to 446 bridges.
A lot of them are in the true colors of the destination, which are black and gold.
All of our professional sports team have adopted the same color scheme, and so has the city.
In addition to that, the funiculars that are located on Mount Washington, the Duquesne Incline and the Monongahela Incline, they're still very much used today just as they were 130 years ago and are one of the most popular visited attractions for tourists who are visiting the city.
(bell) LAUREN: While we were on the incline, we could see the beautiful skyline.
We saw multiple bridges, and we also were able to see the PNC Park where we will be going next to go see the Pittsburgh Pirates.
JERAD: Sports is such a big part of everything that we do here in Pittsburgh from a culture standpoint, but also a main reason why people come into the city.
You have to take in a ball game at PNC Park, which is where the Pittsburgh Pirates play, the view from that park is unrivaled anywhere in the MLB stadium series.
LAUREN: We made it to the Pirates stadium!
LAURITA: Let's go, Pirates.
LAUREN: Go Pirates.
Woo-hoo!
It's been so long since I've been to a baseball game, so this is so exciting to come out because we had a really cool time.
