If you are a fan of The Rocky movies, then you will surely recognize these steps. You can take a photo with Rocky's statue at the bottom (usually a line) and run up the steps like a champion. Once on top, you don't have to be a Rocky fan to feast your eyes on the view, it's beautiful.

Comprised of 15 homes and situated on Kelly Drive at The Schuylkill River, each house on Boathouse Row has its own rich history and is named after Philadelphia oarsman John B. Kelly Jr. who won the national singles championship eight times and was once president of the United States Olympic Committee. And it also looks simply magical all lit up at night with the lights reflected in the water.

The Mütter Museum. America's finest museum of medical history, with displays of beautifully preserved collections of anatomical specimens, ...This museum is a fascinating look back in time of medicine and humanity and the person, Thomas Mütter who was the first doctor to consider and put into practice what we now know as "bed side manner".
