There are direct Amtrak trains to Pittsburgh from Philadelphia and Chicago.
For those flying, the Pittsburgh airport is about a 25 minute drive from downtown. There is also a regular express bus into town.
Driving times are 8 hours from Chicago, 5 hours from Philadelphia, and 2-4 hours for our guests from West Virginia.
Once you're in Pittsburgh, it's relatively easy to get around the city on public transit. Just be aware that you need to purchase tickets before you get on.
