Embark on the Pittsburgh Audio Tour: Echoes of Innovation and Ivy Shadows

Turn your headphones on for a self-guided audio tour that peels back the layers of each landmark. Walk where most visitors only glance, hearing dramas and mysteries that nearly slipped through history’s cracks.

What furious conflict nearly turned a campus heart into a battleground? Why does one sanctuary hold a centuries-old enigma in its sacred walls? Who smuggled a forbidden tune past the city’s silent guardians on a stormy night?

Wander across leafy quads and majestic sanctuaries while tales of rebellion, hidden passions, and unlikely heroes pull you deeper into Pittsburgh’s living past. Every step spins the city into sharper focus, revealing unexpected beauty and forgotten intrigue.
