Car Hire in Pittsburgh

Rent a car in Pittsburgh, a historic city in the state of Pennsylvania in the USA. The city was a major boomtown during the Industrial Revolution, and this fascinating past lives on in the city's famous Strip District.

Bordering the Allegheny River on its north end, the Strip District was once a major manufacturing area, but in time has come to be one of Pittsburgh's favorite cultural centres. Today the Strip District is filled with shops, restaurants and nightclubs, but still maintains some of the factory look of its former days. The original Primanti Brothers, a locally famous chain of sandwich shops, is in the Strip District, and visitors can sample their trademark dish; a sandwich of meat, coleslaw, tomatoes, and French fries between two pieces of Italian bread!

Travelling in Pittsburgh with a Hire Car

While in Pittsburgh, take a drive 80kilometres southeast of the city to Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece Fallingwater. The modernist house was built in 1935 for wealthy Pittsburgh businessman Edgar J. Kaufmann, and served as the family's weekend home until 1963, when Kaufmann's son donated the iconic building to the Western Pennsylvania Conservatory.

Among its incredible architectural elements, Fallingwater is perhaps best known for the active waterfall that flows beneath it. Boulders from the river were used in the home's fireplace, and several others compose part of the floor and are polished to give them a wet appearance. Pictures cannot do the architectural marvel justice, so take time during your stay in Pittsburgh to tour this incredible work of art, you can get there in comfort with a dependable car hire from Auto Europe.
