Lombard Street (San Francisco)



Lombard Street is famous for the one-way section on Russian Hill between Hyde and Leavenworth Streets, in which the roadway has eight sharp turns.



Getting Here

 * Driving (approach from Hyde Street). Lombard Street is one-way, and you can't drive up from Leavenworth.
 * Public transportation:
 * Powell-Hyde cable car from Union Square or Fisherman's Wharf stops at the top of Lombard Street.

Tips

 * The best place to photograph Lombard Street is at the foot of the hill, on Leavenworth Street, looking up. The best time is usually early morning or just before dusk.
 * Visit Portero Hill's Vermont Street between 20th and 22nd Streets for really San Francisco's most crooked.
