Doors Open Pittsburgh continues its tradition of giving tours of buildings that dot the region. They’re inviting guests to be ‘nebby’, a Pittsburghese term for nosey, with a VIP pass explore the iconic insides of towers and mansions. The annual one day event is tomorrow October 3, 2020. At $12 for general admission, it’s a perfect excuse to get out of the house.

Doors Open will feature a reduced number of buildings this year due to the pandemic. Participants can visit any of the buildings on the list during the event. Some of the tours are self guided. Those with guides can expect an abbreviated history of 10-15 minutes upon their visit.
