I'm planning a four-day vacation and Pittsburgh is one of the cities on my list.

Is the city generally 'walker-friendly'? I'd probably stay in the Golden Triangle, and other touristy area, and not stray off into the residential neighborhoods.

So is getting around the city do-able without a car?

Thanks in advance.

The downtown area is 10 blocks long and about 5 or 6 blocks wide at the widest point. These aren't long blocks like in NYC, it's definitely walkable. You can walk to the Strip District, and across the rivers to North Side and South Side.

And if you want to venture a little further outside of Downtown (to Oakland or Shadyside or the South Side) the bus and light rail ("T") system work pretty well.
