I really liked lombard st. Its a great place to stop and take pictures. The st. is kept really clean and its beautiful. The only ad thing is that there are tons of other people trying to take their pic so its really crowded. If you do not park close you have to walk up many steep hills more

There are people standing at both the top and bottom taking photos, and there are those who are walking down it. I have done both. But the best thing, of course, is to drive down it.

This is a unique street and so is a "should see" when in San Fran. Its free and the view is earned with the hill walking. I would rate this as the 8th best thing we did in San Fran (and we did everything!). I would recommend: 1. Cycle over the Golden Gate bridge, go to Sausilito and, if up... more

Had to see this windy street! Pretty amazing - quite a drive down! I really can't imagine living in one of the homes at the turns on the street - talk about a parking nightmare! more

The short drive though the hairpin turns of Lombard Street is a memorable experience. Not only is the crooked road an interesting site, but it is a beautiful and well manicured block which provides a nice view of San Francisco. more

You must drive it to experience it. However, do nto try to walk up the street as others have said it is very difficult walking. But take the time to drive down in and get the picture! more
