Pittsburgh Penn Station Navigation
Pittsburgh Penn Station's main entrance is on Liberty Avenue. Despite the station's vast size, only a small portion is in active use today — the historic rotunda and main waiting room serve the one daily Amtrak train. Greyhound and FlixBus use a separate area within the same complex.
Entrances
Liberty Avenue (Main)
1100 Liberty Avenue, facing the Strip DistrictBest for: All Amtrak passengers and Greyhound/FlixBus travelers
Wheelchair-accessible ramp. The historic rotunda is immediately inside. Cabs and rideshare typically pick up here.
Grant Street side
Grant Street, west side of the buildingBest for: Walking to/from Downtown Pittsburgh
Less used. Quiet and convenient if you're walking from Downtown via the 11th Street bridge.
Platforms & Tracks
Pittsburgh Penn has just one active platform serving the daily Amtrak Pennsylvanian. Greyhound and FlixBus operate from the eastern portion of the station with their own gates. The historic rotunda is the most architecturally significant space — a Burnham-designed Beaux-Arts gem worth pausing in, even if you're just passing through.
