VisitPittsburgh unveils 2025 Insider's Guide to the city ahead of 2026 NFL Draft, other events
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- A new insider's guide to all things Pittsburgh has been unveiled ahead of the city's upcoming hosting of the 2026 NFL Draft and others events.
VisitPittsburgh unveiled the 2025 Insider's Guide to Pittsburgh, which is being called the first of its kind, on Wednesday morning.
The new guide is designed with travelers in mind and can be accessed digitally as well as being able to receive a pocket-sized, printed version of the publication.
"Pittsburgh is a city full of surprises, and we wanted to create a guide that truly reflects the diverse experiences found across our destination-and surprise and delight readers with a special edition Fan Guide to the 2026 NFL Draft," said Jerad Bachar, the president and CEO of VisitPITTSBURGH. "By tailoring the guide to our readers' unique travel personas, we hope to inspire both day and overnight travel, while encouraging visitors to make the most of their time in market."
VisitPittsburgh says the new guide includes things like features of the city's 90 neighborhoods, a special section about the 2025 U.S. Open that's coming to Oakmont Country Club, the 2026 NFL Draft, profiles on local people from Pittsburgh, and spotlights on events coming to the city, among other things.
Bachar said they worked with more than 650 business partners around the region to give visitors a guide that shows the best the city has to offer.
The main goal is to make sure those who come to Pittsburgh for the draft next year come back again.
"So the visitor's guide is a really great opportunity for people to get a snapshot of what they're interested in, but also to plan their future visits. There's so much to see and do here in Pittsburgh that this is a great opportunity for people to almost catalog their future experiences in the city," Bachar said.
More than 120,000 copies of the guide are expected to be distributed around the city and through online requests.
You can request a printed copy of the guide online submitting your name, address, and email address. Delivery is expected to take 3-6 weeks before it arrives.
