Voted one of the top ten sites in the world for viewing a cityscape by USA Today! Open 365 days a year!
Take a step back in time on a century-old cable car and see the best views of downtown Pittsburgh while riding one of the few remaining inclines in the country. Opened on May 20, 1877, the Duquesne Incline was rescued and restored by a group of local residents in 1963 and still delights residents and visitors with its original, elegant, wooden cable cars. Now you can visit the interior of the incline and watch the machinery while it operates. The Duquesne Incline’s upper station houses a museum of Pittsburgh history, including photos and a storehouse of information on inclines from around the world. Unusual Pittsburgh souvenirs, maps and photos can be found at the gift shop.

You’ll get the best view the city has to offer. It’s a slow, relaxing climb if you’re not afraid of heights.

One of my favorite tourist attractions in the city. The Incline not only offers the best view of the city, it’s also steeped in history from Pittsburgh’s steel days.

This is a must for taking out-of-town visiters. The views are great and it doesn’t cost too much. It’s a very unique experience.

I’ve taken every out of town visitor to this attraction. The reaction is always “oohs” and “ahhs.” If there was a Primanti’s on top this would be a one-stop Pittsburgh shop.

Love the Incline! It’s beautiful. I love how that was means of transportation for the workers in the past, and today we ride it as a tourist attraction. Beautiful view of the city, especially at night. Also, looking at all the inner workings while waiting for the car to arrive is great. So much history! A little scary to ride, however.
