I apologize if this has already been asked but do you need a car in downtown PItt for a weekend?
I am staying at the William Penn Hotel which is about 0.5 miles from the arena but I am not sure if that is walkable and/or a safe walk at night (after the show).
I will be in town for the weekend - do I need to get a car to enjoy the city?

I don’t think it’s necessary. Pittsburg is a great walking city, very safe, etc. Great area by Pirates stadium lots of bars, etc. If you wanted to go up the mountain, you can use the Incline. Staying about 1/2 mile away as well pumped for Sunday show.0

I am aware of Google maps and used it to figure out that I was about 0.5 miles from the arena. I just wanted to see if it was a safe walk (looks like we are walking under the expressway and we do not know the areas of the city well). Google maps just tells you are route, not if it is a good route.gotthebottle said:

It’s a perfectly safe walk.. there will probably be several thousand people walking up to the arenaPJ-Cubs said:

It’s a super easy and safe walk. I think it’s even gradually downhill most of the way (from PPG). Plus there will be tons of other people walking down 5th right along with you. A lot of times I’ll park near 5th and Grant and I’ve never been creeped out.PJ-Cubs said:

How bout walking from ppg to drury hotel?

Downtown Pittsburgh is less than a square mile. You can walk anywhere in 10-15 mins. You will see almost the entire crowd making that walk.mcgruff10 said:How bout walking from ppg to drury hotel?

It is crazy that one band playing 2 concerts can drive up an entire city's hotel prices so much. I don't think that happened in other cities for this tour.0
