Trip ideas while visiting Philadelphia in Pennsylvania

Rocky Statue and Steps

At the Philadelphia Museum of Art, you can find the Rocky Statue. This iconic statue was originally created for a scene in the movie “Rocky III.” It is situated at the base of the famous “Rocky Steps,” where the fictional boxer trained in the first Rocky film.

To fully immerse yourself in the “Rocky” experience, try climbing the 72 steps of the museum. Don’t worry, you can pause for breaks whenever you need to. Once you reach the top, take a moment to appreciate the beautiful views of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Many people compare it to the famous Champs-Élysées in Paris. Just like Sylvester Stallone did in the film, make sure to capture a photo with the iconic “Rocky” statue. Visitors who have been there before can attest that this fun photo opportunity alone makes the visit worthwhile. Keep in mind that there might be lines for taking pictures, so plan accordingly.
