Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The Rocky Steps are the 72 stone steps leading up to the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. They became famous after Sylvester Stallone's character ran up them in the movie 'Rocky'.
At the bottom of the steps stands a bronze statue of Rocky Balboa, created for the film 'Rocky III'. It is one of the most popular photo spots in Philadelphia.
Running up the steps and raising one's arms in victory has become a rite of passage for visitors. It symbolizes triumph and perseverance, mirroring the themes of the movie.
From the top of the steps, visitors are rewarded with a spectacular view of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and the Philadelphia skyline. It is a perfect spot to take in the city's beauty.
