Pittsburgh is a beautiful city.

Every day. Every type of weather.

But Pittsburgh at the holidays is quite a magical experience.

And while there no longer are grand department stores, Downtown Pittsburgh still offers a lot of holiday fun with lights, gingerbread houses, shopping, trees and more!

It might seem overwhelming to see every tree and holiday display.

Fear not! We’ve got you.

There are two excellent options to discovering all the holiday things in Downtown Pittsburgh.
