Sightseeing
Gorgeous neogothic skyscraper built in the 1930s with soaring interiors that look like a cross between European cathedrals and Hogwarts. It's part of the University of Pittsburgh campus. You can tour the nationality rooms (classrooms meticulously designed to evoke different countries or cultures) and in November and December, every nationality room is decorated for the holidays. Great tours, and amazing views from the upper floors.
