Visiting Pittsburgh

Heartifacts draws a national and international crowd of software professionals. Pittsburgh is a city full of activity and events for a diverse set of interests.

Getting here

Flying

You’ll want to fly into PIT and ensure that your Pittsburgh destination has an ‘h’ and is in Pennsylvania and not California.

The two common ways to get into the city approximately 20 miles from the airport are the 28X Airport Flyer bus (schedule) or ridesharing with Lyft, Uber, or zTrip.

Train

The Capitol Express is a common route between Chicago and Washington, D.C. on which Pittsburgh is a stop.

Bus

Megabus and Greyhound are popular ways to get to Pittsburgh. Both have stations in the Cultural District area of downtown.
