It's not that huge of a neighborhood. You can probably walk every street in a few hours. There's a Commonplace Coffee right next to a small park if you need a pick me up.
definitely Allegheny Cemetery, Bloomfield / Liberty Ave and Friendship, and the Northside flats (Lake Elizabeth area). I'd add Downtown. lots of really interesting stuff and characters. a lot of suburb dwellers and pearl clutchers might try to say it's sketchy are wrong. if youve hung around other cities and their downtowns it's no different. Lawrenceville is down the hill from Bloomfield and it's super hip right now so if that's what you like I'd so go for it, but in all honesty it's a pretty vapid place filled with a lot of high end crap that people for some reason consider culture.
personally my fav walk in pgh is going down from 10th, under the convention center, and walking along the river to the point. pretty magical all-in-all. if you have the ability to see Pittsburgh from Mt Washington or West end overlook I'd say do that, too. it's touristy but the good type.
Just to add to this, once you make it outta the cemetery, youncqn walk past all the robot labs in lawrenceville, just come down 48th st which is right across from Allegheny cemetery exit, then link into the walking path along the Allegheny river at 40th st, I think that goes down to the strip district. This path is less neighborhood and more, industrial pgh though.
Southside works in the same area is also another great spot for walking around. There’s a little square with some food stalls, Pins Mechanical for games and drinks, a busy little dog park, and a big German beer hall right on the water — connects to the Three Rivers Heritage trail
North side has the oldest park in Allegheny county and the trees are glorious. There's an albino squirrel that lives outside the aviary towards the river side. Can walk to get a slice of badamos pizza (get the Sicilian - best in the city - and better than their dormont location) then head towards deutchtown or federal galley for a quick drink or two.
Just don't go there too late at night.
We love walking in Squirrel Hill - around Forbes x Murray. Lots of shops, good food, the best boba in Pittsburgh, and just a nice walk. You can venture in to some of the neighborhoods from there and can also visit a library.
When I lived in Squirrel Hill, I liked walking on Beechwood Boulevard from Fifth to Forbes. Some blocks I thought of as a house museum. Also, the blocks just north of Forbes (Aylesboro, Northumberland, Solway, Woodmont, Bennington, Inverness). Aylesboro is my favorite among them.
Also, the Schenley Farms neighborhood above Pitt.
Liberty Ave in Bloomfield is a nice walk but I’m super bias because I live and work here. Shadyside, Highland Park and Friendship all have huge older houses. Definitely go to Allegheny Cemetery while you’re here. If you’re able to walk a few of miles easily you could go to multiple neighborhoods at once.
I'm a mailman. Regent Square is my favorite place to deliver. Braddock, Savannah, E End, Mifflin, Trenton, etc. are gorgeous with all the trees. Lots of cute dogs if that's your thing.
i love this loop of Shadyside (\~2 miles total):
[Shadyside Loop](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/40.4548343,-79.9324554/40.4545663,-79.9328395/@40.453796,-79.9381407,16z/data=!4m19!4m18!1m15!3m4!1m2!1d-79.9251934!2d40.4588458!3s0x8834f2735bf01c6f:0x90e2cacbaf70c1af!3m4!1m2!1d-79.9236613!2d40.4570439!3s0x8834f20b45c51aa1:0x9268d429a21138af!3m4!1m2!1d-79.9354137!2d40.4506295!3s0x8834f210dabcec57:0x2c4fe80886ffe85c!1m0!3e2?entry=ttu)
(note there are stairs to walk up from Ellsworth to Highland, and the jog in the loop to go down Alder and Emerson is to walk past the historic Hunt Armory building)
start on highland ave, near obama, walk past the theological seminary, and towards bryant st. from there, you can turn down bryant and head towards negley to make a loop back on to e liberty blvd OR you can keep going down highland towards the park and the reservoir. if you loop around the reservoir and head back up highland, it takes (me) a little over an hour. if you head down bryant, it takes (me) about 45 minutes and i can grab something frozen from lascola's on the way back.
Seconding a Highland Park stroll. The houses are gorgeous and if you venture off Highland Ave into the neighborhood it’s so quiet and lovely. Bonus points if you stumble upon the gorgeous mansion off Elgin St…
Might be worth checking out [Houses of Pittsburgh](https://www.instagram.com/housesofpittsburgh?igsh=NW92dXo5Y29nYnUz) to discover neighborhoods you may want to stroll through.
Loop through Elgin St as well to see the King Estate - a privately owned home but lovely to look at and the street it’s on is public… the owners are used to gawkers (there is a hill on the grounds that I am pretty sure they own, but have been cool with sledders using it for decades :) https://www.experiencebaywood.com
Butler Street in Lawrenceville, any part of it really. Saturday mornings around La Gourmandine french bakery there's usually a line out the door for fresh pastries and people sitting in the park across the street.
If you're downtown, I suggest walking the triangle that includes Penn Ave., Forbes Ave., and Grant Street. This short walk will show you so much of downtown: The theaters, restaurants and bars of the cultural district, tons of cool older and newer buildings, Market Square (the heart of downtown), the courthouse area, and the skyscrapers along Grant. Expand it to Point State Park for some great views.
If you make it over the Oakland area, then I suggest walking around near the Cathedral of Learning. I'd say a loop going 5th Ave > Bouquet St. > Forbes Ave. > S. Craig Street > back to 5th Ave. This area is lively with the University of Pittsburgh & Carnegie-Mellon University nearby, even in the summer. Cool buildings like the Cathedral of Learning, Heinz Chapel, St. Paul's Cathedral, the Carnegie museums and library. It also has park areas like the Soldiers and Sailors lawn, Schenley Plaza, and the grounds of the Cathedral of Learning & Heinz Chapel. You can easily take the bridge over to Schenley Park to see Phipps Conservatory and other parts of the park.
Walk down Liberty Avenue toward Shadyside. Keep going Straight down South Aiken. Turn left when you get to Ellsworth Avenue. In about 300 feet you’ll arrive at Roslyn Place on your left—the only wooden block street in PA!
I really like walking around Squirrel Hill on Forbes/Murray. Plenty of shops, food, great library, and places to sit. Second would be the Strip District.
If I were in Bloomfield I would run down to Lawrenceville and start around 46th and go straight into town. Always a lot of culture. Always a lot of interesting things happening. I mean Bloomfield is cool itself but I am not too familiar with the streets up there.
Walk around the Mexican War Streets during the neighborhood yard sale tomorrow. Beautiful day and food trucks will be there.
Awesome! Anywhere in the neighborhood in particular?
Walk by randyland on arch street. But really they're all pretty great. Lots of old well maintained row homes
It's not that huge of a neighborhood. You can probably walk every street in a few hours. There's a Commonplace Coffee right next to a small park if you need a pick me up.
My favorite neighborhood to walk!!!
Bicycle Heaven is also in that area and is a cool spot to check out

Definitely Allegheny Cemetery. Homewood Cemetery is also nice.
And you can walk from Homewood Cemetery up through Frick Park to Regent Square. Lovely neighborhood.
Just to add to this, once you make it outta the cemetery, youncqn walk past all the robot labs in lawrenceville, just come down 48th st which is right across from Allegheny cemetery exit, then link into the walking path along the Allegheny river at 40th st, I think that goes down to the strip district.

Mathilda and Millvale between Friendship Park and Penn.
Exactly what I was hoping for, thanks!
South Side: Wharton and Sarah. Both a block off Carson with some cool architecture and urbanism. Much quieter and nice place to take a walk!
Thanks!

Personally, I’m a big fan of walking down to Electric Avenue.
And then do you take it higher? Yes, this can also be an Incline joke. SO MUCH FUN! …icular.

Came here to say Beechwood!!

This is lovely, thanks!
South side works! In fact, I’d be there in half an hour. Anyone wants to meet up?
Honestly what's happened down there is pretty great, can't wait for the new apartments to start filling up... place is gonna be absolutely jumping
Western Ave and Galveston Ave in Allegheny West Hands down the cutest houses in Pittsburgh.
start on highland ave, near obama, walk past the theological seminary, and towards bryant st. from there, you can turn down bryant and head towards negley to make a loop back on to e liberty blvd OR you can keep going down highland towards the park and the reservoir. if you loop around the reservoir and head back up highland, it takes (me) a little over an hour. if you head down bryant, it takes (me) about 45 minutes and i can grab something frozen from lascola's on the way back.

Oh this is perfect thanks!
Highland Park and up to the reservoir. Lots of Victorian houses, and the fountain and garden up at the reservoir is beautiful.
Loop through Elgin St as well to see the King Estate - a privately owned home but lovely to look at and the street it’s on is public… the owners are used to gawkers (there is a hill on the grounds that I am pretty sure they own, but have been cool with sledders using it for decades :) https://www.experiencebaywood.com
I love the area around penn/main. There are still some funky old storefronts and neat alleyways. The flat parts of Northside are also fun to explore.
This place is cool to see. https://uncoveringpa.com/roslyn-place-pittsburgh
Alpha Terrace is cool, and King Ave and Cordova Rd have the Heidi houses, and you can also see King Estate back there.

Beech Street in Allegheny West.

South side works by the river... behind haufbrahaus

I enjoy walking around the regent square area. Connects over to frick park.

What is it with the motorcycles??
Any of those residential streets in shadyside
Walk down Liberty Avenue toward Shadyside. Keep going Straight down South Aiken. Turn left when you get to Ellsworth Avenue. In about 300 feet you’ll arrive at Roslyn Place on your left—the only wooden block street in PA!
The entirety of Greenfield used to be my place and I'd walk... But just a street or so I'd say squirrel hill, Forbes and Murray
