Lombard Street is known as the world's 'crookedest' street. Looking down on Lombard Street gives a nice view of the San Francisco Bay, Treasure Island, Coit Tower, and the Bay Bridge. It was built in the mid-1920s to accommodate the steepness of the slope.

Oh my God it's so twisty! Really great views.

This picturesque stretch of Lombard Street has eight angles along a single block. They twist at very acute angles, making for very slow going if you are in a car, though, oddly enough, cars were the reason for designing the street this way back in 1922, the idea being that this design would make it easier for them to negotiate the steep 16-percent grade. The drive is usually bumper-to-bumper and in the summertime, there is almost always a line of cars waiting to take the drive down, so a stroll is a good option, especially when the hydrangeas along the sidewalk are in bloom.

The famous crooked street.

Regarded as the most crooked residential street in the world. Park somewhere and get out and check this out. Great views. When ready, get in your car and drive down the street. SLOWLY. You can't drive back up. One way

Fun tourist attraction.
