Pretty cool views going down this street. If you're in a car: beware, there's a long queue and going down this street takes time. If you can, try trekking it up or down.
take the cable car from Ghirardeli sq, and hop off at Lombard.it's tempting but save yourself the trouble of trying to take the best shot from up the street. The real photo deal is down the end of it.
Lombard Street in San Francisco is one of the city's most crookedest streets paved with red bricks and beautiful flower beds and featuring eight hairpin turns downhill.
World's crookest street. Definitely a must. Snap a few photo at the top and bottom of the street. It's a one way. So after snapping yourself some photos, drive down the crooked street.
This street runs through half of San Francisco. To take pictures at the famous spot I would recommend early morning. Also a cable carline passes by there.
Take an iconic picture at the top and bottom! At the top, enjoy views of Coit Tower and the city, and at the bottom you'll see the entirety of the crookedest street in San Francisco.
Beatiful by the sunset. Also, I would prefer going there on Summer or Spring so that beatiful greens and flowers are out there. On winter, it seems a bit abandoned without colors :)
Take a drive down a curvy road. Would love to see the locals drive on this with an inch of snow on the ground. I rolled down it in a can, kidding, that's frowned upon.
The view of San Francisco at Lombard Street is one of the most beautiful city scenery I've ever seen. The hill-like street with a lot of flowers is absolutely beautiful
Hand your cell phone or camera to your passenger and maneuver the eight tight turns from top to bottom amid the famous manicuredhydrangeas. Then look back up: The best photo ops are from the bottom.
the most crooked street in san fo. lots of tourists and if youll bring a car going there, expect a little traffic. you can go down the street and park a few blocks away for a little pictorial
Interesting drive down this incredibly winding street. Very pretty when viewed from leavenworth street. Make sure you go up the opp side of Lombard and take the winding path down.
The landmark street was overflowing with visitors from around the world. I got to drive down the street which was an incredible zig, zagging experience.
Get a Powell/Hyde or Powell/Mason cable car from Market st./Powell or further to Lombard st. to quickly cover both historic cable car and the famous slope.
Not the crookedest street in San Francisco as the nickname suggests, but if you're visiting and have the time it shouldn't be missed. Lovely views from the Hyde Street end (top). Signed, a SF native.
Neat place to visit. Lots of tourists on the weekends so expect traffic around that area. Be respectful of the cops helping with the flow of traffic. They're trying to make sure no one gets run over.
The vantage from the top of Lombard Street is one of the most iconic in the city. Fight your way through the crowd of tourists and get a nice shot of one of the most interesting streets in the world.
Board the cable car from Powell/Market Turnaround, make sure to get on the Powell/Hyde St Line, not the Powell/Mason Line. Only Powell/Hyde St Line will bring you to Lombard St.
Famous for their crooked street. Vantage point is from the top with views of the city, alkatraz, and passing trams. Then at the bottom for a full view of the crooked street.
This is a great place for jackwads to make fun of tourists because they have nothing else better to do with their lives but once you get passed that take a picture and don't get hit by oncoming cars.
Prior to implementing the hairpin turns, Lombard Street was originally a straight, cobblestone street with a steep 27 percent grade too difficult for cars to drive through.
Take the Powell-Hyde cable car from Chinatown and get off at the top of the Lombard zigzag -- unless you like walking uphill. Continue your tour DOWNHILL along Lombard and up to the Coit Tower.
Seriously one of the most amazing streets you'll ever see and a must have photo-op. It gets super busy so allow some time to get through and be prepared to brace the crowds!
Can't really see the sharp turns and steepness of the road (unless you're in a helicopter maybe?)... I would hate to live in these apartments with the non-stop tourists and cars!!
It's commonly—but mistakenly—said that Lombard Street between Hyde and Jones is San Francisco’s crookedest street. The most sinuous street in SF is Vermont Street just south of McKinley Park.
Winding its way through San Fran, Lombard St was built as a solution for cars that could not climb the 27% incline of the hill. Drive or stroll this famous road, but remember the speed limit is 5mph!
Lombard Street is best known for the one-way section on Russian Hill between Hyde and Leavenworth Streets, in which the roadway has eight sharp turns (or switchbacks) that have earned the street the distinction of being the crookedest [most winding] street in the world
