This funicular was first put into service in 1877 and restored in the 1960s. Enjoy the beautiful ride to the top where there is a scenic overlook of Pittsburgh, a museum , restaurants , and nightlife

The Duquesne Incline reminds me of the movie Flashdance. If you're familiar with Pittsburgh and the movie you'll see Alex riding one of the Duquesne Incline cable cars when she goes to visit Hannah ????

Kurt Shaw

This is my daily commuting vehicle, but a favorite among tourists . It's $4.50 round trip for adults ($2.70 kids), but worth every penny for the WOW factor. Must have EXACT change though.

Misty Coss

Great views from this place! Only accepts cash when leaving from the bottom of the incline. There is an atm at the top.

For just $2.50 each way, ride the wooden cable cars to see unparalleled views of Pittsburgh’s skyline, named second on USA Weekend Magazine’s list of 10 most beautiful places in America.

Did you know? Incline railways work thanks to a pulley system. The descending car's weight pulls the ascending car up the mountain , & the ascending car prevents the descending car from going too fast. Read more

Go on a one way trip and take the trails back down. Don't forget to stop and say hi to George and Seneca!

Take a trip to the top of Mt. Washington for a breathtaking view of the Pittsburgh skyline. Go at night to see the city light's at their brightest.- Ethan, Marketing Director

Jenya S

A must at least once when in the Burgh. A very unique experience and wonderful views on the way up/down.

Steven Priesel

Beautiful scenery from the top of the incline. You pay at the lower station, coming and going. Small museum at the top. Worth a visit.

Rick Beley

Hate to reiterate the EXACT change thing, but you need it. If you think you'll hit the ATM and put a $20 in the change machine, get ready for a pocket full of coins! Come with EXACT cash amount.

Kathleen Kopp

YOU NEED EXACT CHANGE ! 2.50 one way. Great views but don't wait in line there- walk a bit and there are decks along the street. Also parking $3 1st hour and $1 for every hour following

Rachel L

Totally worth the trip up the funicular for the views

Scott Thorn

Must visit, get a taste of local history with a great view of three rivers and the city skyline at the top.

Sheri

Cheap fun ride and view and opened late .

Aaron Cruz

One of best views ever seen. The bridges , three rivers , surrounding hills , Fall colors, it's all right there! Watch yourself rise above it a old-school, historic wooden incline car .

Steve Phillips

I’m told this is a must do when in Pittsburgh. Be prepared for a long wait on the way back up depending on the day.

Brian Searl

Definitely worth the price. The ride itself is not the attraction though. The view of the city is. Don't miss the great food in this neighborhood either.

Abby Fleischauer

Gift shop has beautiful Pgh memorabilia...special mention of the pens with floating inclines $3.50+ & handcrafted plates from Wendell August Forge that are extremely affordable & high quality!!

Katie D

Spend the 50 cents and go on the "tour " of the Machine Room at the top. It's neat to see how it works!

Ghadi Tayeb

One of the best view in Pittsburgh

Really awesome views of Pittsburgh and a really unique attraction .

Amy Cummings

Go to Grandview once you’re at the top to have a drink and enjoy the view !

Jaime Bernal

Cash Only or Use Port Authority Fare Card. nice Scenery.

Shane Bianchini

Tickets from either incline work at either incline! So use one to go up and one to go down and enjoy the view on the walk down Grandview Avenue!

Kim B.

Worth the $4 and the time to ride to the top! The view is fantastic. Make sure to check out the statues of Guyasuta & George Washington on Mount Washington while you're up there!

Monica

Go from the top, down. Free street parking nearby. Stay on for roundtrip back to the top, without paying.

The machine room self-guided tour is the best 50 cents you can spend if you have an inquisitive kid...

Bikabout

Take the incline to one of the most perfect tourism spots, Grandview Overlook Park .

This is the quintessential Pittsburgh tourist experience

Definitely ride the incline!

gov nagubandi

I guess its a nice view of the city , but if you're just going up to look its not worth it (especially if you're a family buying multiple tickets)

Owen Swall

Eat your Popsicles on the way down!

Park your car at the bottom and then ride up to eat dinner at Mt Washington.
