But First, Why?
Look, we've all been there. You're booking a weekend getaway, fingers flying across the keyboard. You enter "Pittsburgh" in the destination bar, hit search, and...crickets. Is Pennsylvania even a real place? Did Pittsburgh secede and become its own tiny nation-state? Fear not, travel enthusiasts, for the answer is much simpler (and way less dramatic).
Pittsburgh is a glorious city located smack dab in the center of Pennsylvania. Mind. Blown.

So, How Long Does it Take to Get There?
Now, you might be thinking, "If they're both in the same state, how long can it possibly take?" Well, that my friend, depends entirely on where in Pennsylvania you're zooming off from. Pennsylvania's a big state, with mountains, valleys, and everything in between.
If you're practically next door to Pittsburgh, you could be there in a couple of hours. Easy peasy. But if you're chilling on the other side of the state, bordering Ohio or Delaware, you might be in for a longer ride.
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
The key takeaway? It depends on your starting point!
But I Want Specifics!
