SCHEDULE
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17
VISITING PITTSBURGH
Downtown Pittsburgh is an extremely walk-able city, and there’s a lot to see and do when you’re there.
DIRECTIONS
The Art Insitute of Pittsburgh is located at 420 Boulevard of the Allies, Pittsburgh, PA 15219
HOTELS
If you’re looking for a place to stay, there are many hotel options in Downtown Pittsburgh. Most of them charge for parking in addition to your stay. If you are driving to Pittsburgh and are looking for a cheaper option, the hotels in Green Tree are just outside of downtown. You would then need to drive into downtown, where Saturday parking is usually in the $5 to $6 range for the day.
Sheraton Station Square
Station Square is just a short walk/drive across the Smithfield Street Bridge from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. If you happen to venture there, you’ll have access to something uniquely Pittsburgh – the Duquesne Incline. You can ride the incline up the hill to Mount Washington and take in the gorgeous view of Downtown Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh Marriott City Center
Hilton Garden Inn Pittsburgh Downtown

PARKING NEAR THE ART INSTITUTE
There are lots of places to park in the area. Below are some of the closer parking garages. If you’re staying at an area hotel, you might want to ask if there’s shuttle service available if you want to avoid driving in an unfamiliar city.
