Duquesne Incline
Scale Mount Washington in a 19th century cable car for a fun ride with breathtaking views. The ride is a 400-foot incline and brings you breathtaking views of the Pittsburgh skyline and the city’s three rivers. When uphill, visit the museum to learn more about Pittsburgh history as well as inclines from all over the world. A few restaurants overhanging the mountain are a stone’s throw away, and so is the stunning Grandview Overlook. The Duquesne Incline is cash-only so be prepared. Paid parking is available across the street from the Duquesne incline’s lower station. – Tripadvisor

Duquesne Incline
We rode the Duquesne Incline on a recent visit to Pittsburgh. There is a gravel parking lot along the river at the bottom of the incline with a $5 minimum charge. Exact change is asked for which is $5 per round trip ticket. We got lucky and walked right onto a train going up. We waited 15 minutes or so to catch one going down. There is an observation area at the top that provides great views of the city. All together we spent less than an hour doing everything. The only negative was the ladies working at the bottom who seemed pretty impatient with tourists who didn’t know exactly what to do when paying for and boarding the car.

Ride the cable car At Duquesne Incline and see the best views of downtown Pittsburgh
Ride the cable car At Duquesne Incline and see the best views of downtown Pittsburgh So whenever you see pictures of Pittsburgh, I am sure you are looking it downtown with and cable car in the foreground. it is easily one of the best things to do in Pittsburgh. From the cars, there are great views out over the city. Once used to transport workers all the way back since the 1800s. they are still using two original 1877 cable cars, the Duquesne Incline is a working museum, with the upper station providing photos and displays on the history of the incline. at the top, you can also see the working mechanism, wheel, and all. I don't know if it is the norm, but there was a guide in our cabin and he gave a brief idea about incline history, and how it come into the picture. Duquesne Incline was rescued and restored by a group of local residents in 1963 and still delights residents and visitors with its original, elegant, wooden cable cars Parking: $10 and that's valid for 24 hours. Parking is more expensive than tickets which are just $5. You don't pay at the counter, you put the exact amount in a cylindrical box (nobody checks what you are putting in the container). a counter lady comes in a while and shoves it with a stick. i have never seen a system like this. if you want to experience a slice of the city’s long history, go for it.
