Hi there! We are Jeremy and Angie, founders of Discover the Burgh. In 2015, we gave ourselves the mission to do everything in Pittsburgh and southwest Pennsylvania.
Like many residents, we found ourselves returning to our favorite places again and again, while overlooking other experiences we've heard so much about but never prioritized.
Since then, we've personally visited nearly 1,500 attractions, parks, events, hotels, restaurants, bars & breweries, and more, all within about 90 minutes of downtown Pittsburgh, and we check out new experiences each and every month.
To help you navigate our site and find our top recommendations, we built this guide with locals in mind who want to take a deep dive into all things Pittsburgh!

We also post more content on our social media pages on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and TikTok, and run two popular Facebook groups, Things to Do in Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh Photography, as well!
