Getting to the Strip District

Getting to the Strip District by car, bus, bike, or on foot is easy. The Strip District is just east of Downtown Pittsburgh along a flat piece of land that runs between the south bank of the Allegheny River to the north, the steep hillsides of the Hill District and Polish Hill to the south and between 11th Street and 33rd Streets.

When looking at a map, the Strip sits between the river and the hills and between the two train trestles that cross the river at 11th and 33rd. Adjacent to the Strip District is the Greyhound Bus terminal and Penn Station, Pittsburgh’s Amtrak passenger train station and is one block away from the MegaBus stop at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

On Street Parking

On street parking in the heart of the Historic Strip Business District is almost all metered and the current rate is $3.15 per hour. Parking meters are all digital and accept either credit/debit cards or quarters. Time can be purchased at any meter in the Strip District. You do not need to use the one closest to your car, but you do need to enter your license plate correctly to not be ticketed. Additional time can be added at any meter within the Strip District (it doesn’t need to be the one you first paid at).
