I went to Germany in Nov 2021. No racism.

Almost no tourists at the cities I visited.

I don't find Niagara Falls near to Pittsburgh. What's a drivable distance for you? If a 4 -6 hours drive is ok for you, then Baltimore and Washington DC.

DC has quite a number of attractions to visit. I would give it a day or 2. It's pretty dead in the evenings though.

Do visit Randyland when you are in Pittsburgh. And do have a milkshake at the Milkshake Factory.

Do consider taking the Amtrak.

Niagara falls is a bit far.
Maybe can do a weekend trip.

Check out the nearby national parks.
America has some very beautiful national parks that we can't find in sg.
Can go to nearby lake erie.

If adventurous , can try outdoor sports like white water rafting, zip line, skydiving.

On weekends, can take 3d2n or 2d1n trips to nearby cities too like Boston, nyc n also Maine.
But have to fly.

Don't limit yourself to just areas near pittsburg

If you like the outdoors, you can do the C&O and the GAP. You don't have to bike the entire route. There are some nice hiking points along the route. You can take the Amtrak.

I did Niagara Falls. Walked from Niagara Falls Ontario to Niagara Falls NY via the Rainbow Bridge.

You can get some pretty good deals via Groupon for hotels in Niagara Falls Ontario.

P/S: I did 2 weeks NYC, 1 week Maryland and DC, 1 week Pittsburgh, biked from Pittsburgh to DC, couple of days in Baltimore, a day in Boston, one month in Wiscasset, a week in Montreal, a week in Toronto and Niagara Falls Ontario, > 52 hours on the train from Buffalo to Emeryville via the California Zephyr and a week plus in Oakland/Berkeley/San Francisco.

Try to go to Washington DC on your first weekend or so for the cherry blossoms.
They are famous.

They should be blooming first week of April and they are very nice.

Maybe there are also some local cherry blossom sites where u will be.

U can post in the Europe forum.

Went there many years ago.
No racists stuff toward me but lots of brazen pickpockets esp from the gypsies.

Italy is also...very dirty.
Rome n Venice were so dirty yikes.

Going Europe with my friend, and thinking of going solo a few days after. never tried solo travel before except for work.. and was always weekends in Asia country. Is it safe to solo in Italy?

greek islands outside of summer is a waste of time and money. i was there in may and the water was too cold to do anything.
