Duquesne Incline

Also known as funiculars, these “inclined planes” were built in the late 1800’s to transport immigrant workers from work at plants along Pittsburgh’s rivers to their homes atop Mt. Washington. While they still serve as transportation for area residents, they are also a great way to enjoy the beautiful panoramic Pittsburgh skyline, a view ranked as the second most beautiful place in America by USA Today. Burgh Man Says it’s #1.
