We have family visiting from Italy and they would like to see a few things in Philadelphia. Liberty bell, Market street. Rocky statue, the steps rocky ran up and pat cheesesteaks. I have no idea where any of these places are. We will be arriving Sat afternoon Where do I start?????

Well, ok.. First, while not far away, none of these are necessarily close.
The Liberty bell pavilion is near 5th and Market, in the historic district.
Market Street - there is nothing special on Market street.
Rocky steps - the art museum at the end of JFK parkway Rocky statue is at the bottom of those steps, unless they moved it again.
Pat%26#39;s steaks - South Philly. I don%26#39;t subscribe to the hype, I%26#39;d rather have Jim%26#39;s or a DiNic%26#39;s pork sandwich, someone else will have to help with getting there.
You mentioned sat afternoon. Are you coming in JUST for the afternoon? That may make timing really difficult. Let me know and I will try to plot a path. Also, driving in or train?

By Market Street did you mean the Italian Market? That is 9th Street, mainly around Washington Avenue to Chrsitian Streets. Saturday afternoons the Italian Market is absolutely bustling. Eat somewhere in the Market and skip Pat%26#39;s.
If your relatives did mean Market Street I assume they meant in Old City where there are numerous historic sites. If you go to that area then you can get a delicious steak sandwich at Campo%26#39;s on the 200 block of Market.
Ciao!
