En Rocky Statue and the Rocky Steps are undeniably two of the most popular and quintessential stops in Philadelphia.
A steady flow of people arrives daily at the Philadelphia Museum of Art to run up the steps and snap a picture with the statue, a bona fide monument to the celluloid hero and the City of Brotherly Love’s favorite fictional son.
New for 2026: The Rocky Statue is now located at the top of the Rocky Steps. The former statue location — near the bottom of the Rocky Steps — is slated to become home to the statue of real-life Philadelphian and boxing legend Smokin’ Joe Frazier, coming later in the year.
Visitors often hustle up the museum’s grand stairway to try their hand at Rocky’s famous two-arms-raised salute — all while soaking up picture-perfect views of the Philadelphia skyline.
In short, running up the steps, visiting the statue and taking a picture at the top is a must on any visit to Philadelphia. Consider it a rite of passage.
Best of all: Visiting the Rocky Steps and snapping a photo with the Rocky Statue is gratis.
Here’s how to do it.
En Estatua de Rocky — depicting a larger-than-life boxer — is one of Philadelphia’s most famous pieces of arte público.
El Rocky Balboa ficticio de la película de Sylvester Stallone Rocky fue inmortalizado en bronce por el artista A. Thomas Schomberg en 1980 para una escena de la película Rocky III. After filming was complete, Stallone donated the statue to the City of Philadelphia.

The statue awaiting visitors at the top of the steps — on loan from Sly Stallone’s private collection — replaces the City of Philadelphia’s statue that once stood near the bottom of the steps. That statue can now be found on display inside the museum’s new Rocky exhibition, Levantándose: Rocky y la creación de monumentos (April 25 to August 2, 2026).
Come August 2026, the City of Philadelphia’s statue returns to replace Stallone’s at the top of the stairs permanently.
Just as famous as the statue are the steps leading to the east entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, aka the Rocky Steps.
Each year, tens of thousands of people recreate the scene from the legendary movie and make the trek up the steps.

Recreate the boxer’s famous run up the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps; grab an authentic cheesesteak at Pat’s, the very place where he stopped in the original Rocky; paseo por el Italian Market y luego pásese por una carnicería de las de antes, donde (lo siento) probablemente no dejen pasar a los visitantes a la parte de atrás para usar la carne colgada como saco de boxeo.
Also included: famous stops from the popular Credo protagonizada por Sylvester Stallone y Michael B. Jordan.
Once the jog up the steps and photoshoot are complete, visitors should head inside the Philadelphia Museum of Art, uno de los mayores museos de arte del país.
Elevándose majestuosamente al final del Parque Benjamin Franklin, the museum houses vast collections of Renaissance, American and impressionist art, as well as spaces and galleries designed by the late legendary architect Frank Gehry.
