Situated in the southwest of Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh Region offers visitors many outdoor activities due to the Three Rivers, which merge together in the city. The city has both its modern, cosmopolitan sections as well as ethnic, cultural neighborhoods. Outside of the city are the Laurel Highlands which offer a variety of activities like skiing, golfing, rafting, hiking and biking. From boating on the rivers, taking in a county fair, or visiting one of the covered bridges, there's always lots to do in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
