Getting around Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh's primary professional sports venues are largely concentrated in two areas. PNC Park (baseball) and Acrisure Stadium (football) are situated on the North Shore, directly across the Allegheny River from Downtown. PPG Paints Arena (hockey) is located in the Uptown neighborhood, just east of Downtown. The city's geography is defined by the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, forming the Ohio River, with bridges connecting key districts.

Distances are approximate straight-line miles from PPG Paints Arena. Open a guide for transit, bags, and rideshare.
