This urban walking experience in the Steel City will take you to a mix of well-known sights and lesser-known corners, all tied together by a clear, engaging narrative. Along the way you’ll learn about the city’s outstanding architecture, its fascinating history and the lives of former titans of industry, while spotting a number of fun, hidden public art pieces.

As you move through the streets, the guide will point out the main sites you’d expect to see and also lead you to unexpected gems off the beaten path. Your guide will be a local who knows the city well and is happy to tailor the experience if you have particular interests. Groups are kept small to create a personal atmosphere, and both children and dogs are welcome to join.
