Lombard Street
Lombard Street is a sightseeing stop in San Francisco, CA, part of the San Francisco Bay Area guide. Cost: free.
Lombard St between Hyde and Leavenworth Sts · San Francisco, CA
Why you should go…
The crooked block of Lombard Street drops down Russian Hill between Hyde and Leavenworth Streets in eight sharp turns. The switchbacks were built in 1922 to tame a 27 percent grade, and the roadway is paved in red brick and lined with planted gardens. You can drive it one way downhill or take the stairs on either side. The top looks out to the bay, Alcatraz and Coit Tower, and the Powell-Hyde cable car stops right at Hyde Street.
