Pittsburgh is a great city. I went there for a couple of days last year (for a Springsteen concert) and fell in love with the place.

Take the inclined railway up Mount Washington, walk along Grandview Avenue and get the other railway back down (the two are the Duquense and Monogahela).

The Duck tour is quite good fun - the only overtly touristy thing in the city really, but it's actually very informative.

The walk along the river to the Carnegie Science Center is quite nice. There's an old submarine there which you can visit. We got tickets for just that and not the rest of the museum.

If you like trains, there are plenty of opportunities to see them on the tracks at the bottom of Mt Washington.
