Whether you’ve just moved to Pittsburgh or you’re homegrown, you’ll love our list of places where you can capture your next great picture. Although many of us would argue that Pittsburgh has many photo-ready spots, we wanted to narrow this list down to five, must visit places.

Mount Washington

Take trip up to the sky for a bird’s eye view of the Pittsburgh skyline from nature. We love this place because you can get a good view of the river and take a step back from the hustle and bustle of the city.
