Forget French steps - these are THE steps ! Run the steps with other Rocky fans and enjoy the great view towards city .

Marlon Tanner

Best place to run to in the city . Great view of the city and close to boathouse row. Definitely one of my favorite places in Philadelphia.

The Ritz-Carlton

Stop and take a picture of the "Rocky Statue ." Then start your run up the “Rocky Steps”; 72 stone steps before the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art with a beautiful view of center city .

David Howland

It's super crowded but you can't beat the view . Watch out for the 35 or so cars illegally parked in the bike lane right in front. It's a great representation of Philly.

Hamid Alan9ary

Fun place for Rocky fans , but no all the kids know him! There was fun stuff for kids to do in front of the steps . Parking is an issue here

Candy Hasan

You can get the phlash bus to center city for 2$ and if you smile at the driver he'll let the child on for free

It is famous because of the movie but is it a normal steps that lead to the art museum . Rocky statue is next to the steps .

Famous site from rocky - bring your dog! There was this hilarious black chihuahua running around when I visited.

Yes you will run up the steps , yes you will raise your arms aloft. No, you will not be alone or feel silly. Sly's sneaker feet smaller than I thought though (UK size 9 / 10?). ;)

You can take a cool picture of the back of the Rocky statue from about halfway up the staircase.

Can you hear the theme music in the background? It's worth it for the view from the top !

Once you make it up the 72-step climb, don't forget to take a picture with Rocky Balboa, just to the right of the steps .

Yes people do run up the stairs all day long. Some even have the theme song playing on a radio . Rocky statue is to the bottom right when facing the Museum .
