Edgy, ethnically diverse and formerly big on industry, the expansive Pittsburgh metro area is today a mix of its steel-making roots and a growing pool of young professionals who contribute to this destination's high livability score.
Founded in 1893, the verdant, carefully cultivated trees and bright blossoms of Victorian greenhouse, Phipps Convservatory, continue to provide visitors with a peaceful escape more than century later. Wander from tropical forest past towering palms (paying heed to Chihuly glass installations) along paths framed with flourishing ferns, graceful orchids, seasonal flowers, and tropical fruit trees. In the Discovery Garden young visitors can spot butterflies and sniff their way to fragrant blooms. Check the events calendar for information on seasonal shows and educational programs.
