Lombard Street – The Crookedest Street

San Francisco is built on several hills and they can be very steep. Some of the streets have to be cut, as there would too much drop in one block. Lombard street between Hyde and Leavenworth streets looks like an Alpine road, it swirles back and forth in its tiny space.

The road looks magnificent especially from Leavenworth Street as the curves are surrounded with flowers and other flora.

Please do not take your car down the street, as it is in middle of residential block and there is already now enough visitors going through it.
