Rocky Steps

The 72 stone steps up to the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, seen from Eakins Oval. Rocky Balboa's training run to the top in Rocky (1976), arms raised over the city, made them famous, and they came back in later films in the series. The steps sit outside the museum, so you need no ticket to climb them, and on a busy afternoon you will share them with a steady line of visitors doing the same run and the same pose. Look for the bronze sneaker prints marked ROCKY at the top.
