Where can I store luggage in Pittsburgh?

Pittsburgh has completely reinvented itself. The old steel town reputation is long gone and what you'll find now is a city with a seriously good food scene, world-class museums and some of the most dramatic geography of any American city. Three rivers converge right downtown, the hillsides are covered in colourful row houses, and you can ride century-old inclines up Mount Washington for views that'll stop you in your tracks.

The city is spread across distinct neighbourhoods connected by over 400 bridges (more than any other city in the world, including Venice). Getting around is part of the fun, but not if you're dragging luggage across the Clemente Bridge to catch a Pirates game or trying to squeeze a suitcase through the narrow aisles of the Strip District on a Saturday morning.

BagsAway has luggage storage locations across Pittsburgh inside vetted local businesses. Book online, drop your bags, go explore. Takes about 30 seconds and every bag is insured up to $1,200.

BagsAway: Luggage Storage Across Pittsburgh

BagsAway works like Airbnb but for your bags. We partner with local shops, cafes, hotels and businesses that have safe space to store your stuff. Each location is vetted, your bags get sealed and tagged, and everything is insured up to $1,200. No lockers, no coins, no hassle.

Pittsburgh gets a ton of visitors for Steelers and Pirates games, conventions at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, and university visits to Pitt and Carnegie Mellon. A lot of those people end up with bags at the wrong time. You check out of your hotel, the game isn't until 7pm, and suddenly you're that person with a rolling suitcase in Primanti Bros. We fix that.

Where to find luggage storage in Pittsburgh

Our BagDrop network covers the areas visitors spend the most time in. Here's a rundown:

Downtown and the Cultural District

Downtown Pittsburgh sits at the Point where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers meet to form the Ohio. Point State Park is right there with its famous fountain. The Cultural District is a few blocks up and has Heinz Hall, the Benedum Center and the Byham Theater. Most of the big hotels and the Convention Center are downtown too. If you're spending the day here, you don't need bags slowing you down. We have BagDrop spots in the area so you can move around freely.

The Strip District

The Strip is Pittsburgh's best neighbourhood for food. It runs along the Allegheny River northeast of downtown and on weekends it's packed with people hitting up Penn Mac, Wholey's fish market, produce stands and coffee shops. The sidewalks get crowded and the aisles inside the shops are tight. This is not where you want to be with a suitcase. Leave your bags at a BagDrop and fill your hands with pierogies and deli meats instead.

North Shore and PNC Park

The North Shore is across the Allegheny from downtown and it's where PNC Park (Pirates) and Acrisure Stadium (Steelers) are located. The Andy Warhol Museum is here too. On game days the whole area buzzes with tailgaters and fans. Walking across the Clemente Bridge from downtown is one of the best walks in the city, but it's a lot better without a backpack full of stuff you don't need.

Oakland (University area)

Oakland is the university district, home to the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon. The Cathedral of Learning is here along with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the Carnegie Museum of Art. If you're visiting a student, attending a lecture or doing a campus tour, drop your bags at a BagDrop first. Oakland is hilly and walkable, but not with luggage.

Station Square and Mount Washington

Station Square is a shopping and dining complex on the south bank of the Monongahela, right across from downtown. From there you can catch the Duquesne Incline or the Monongahela Incline up to Mount Washington for some of the best city views in America. The incline cars are small and they fill up fast, so having bags along makes a tight ride even tighter. Store them before you go.

Lawrenceville

Lawrenceville has become Pittsburgh's trendiest neighbourhood. Butler Street is loaded with independent shops, craft breweries, restaurants and galleries. It stretches for about a mile and the best way to experience it is on foot, bouncing in and out of shops. Much easier without bags.

Other luggage storage options in Pittsburgh

Here's a look at what else is out there so you can pick what works for your trip.

Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT)

PIT doesn't have a dedicated public luggage storage service inside the terminals. If you've got a long layover and want to head into the city, your best move is to use a BagsAway BagDrop downtown. The airport is about 30 minutes from the city centre by car or the 28X bus.

Amtrak Station (Pittsburgh Union Station)

The Amtrak station is in the Strip District and it's a nice building, but there are no luggage lockers or storage services available. If you're arriving by train and want to spend the day exploring before heading out, BagsAway has BagDrop locations within walking distance.

Hotel storage

Most downtown hotels will hold bags for current guests before check-in or after check-out. A handful might do it for non-guests but don't bank on it. The issue is you have to go back to that specific hotel to get your bags, which might be out of the way depending on where your day takes you.

Convention Center

The David L. Lawrence Convention Center occasionally has coat and bag check during large events, but it's not a year-round service and availability depends on the event organizer. If you need something reliable outside of event hours, BagsAway is the better bet.
