But the views are pretty nice over to Coit Tower and down onto Alcatraz in the bay. It's also a great photo op for the cable car coming up the hill with Alcatraz in the background.

This was a tourist attraction I had always heard of and wanted to walk it. It is a beautiful street and puts you in the spirit of the unique atmosphere of San Francisco

This famous SF street is both amazing and daft in equal measure! It's a tourist trap so it's always full of folks walking the side streets taking pics and generally getting in the way. Likewise, the road itself is pretty much only used by tourists driving their families down it... veeery slowly! The street itself is well worth a visit... More

Coming from the flat lands of south Louisiana, this was a real treat! I've never seen a road so curvy. Beautiful landscaping and lovely residential.

This is simply one of the classic SF sights, so don't skip it if you have the time. It may not be the longest or the crookedest street in the world, but it is still a lot of fun to drive or even to walk! The gardens in the "crooks" of the street were beautiful when we were there, which... More

this location looks like is most popular internationally. You can barely find any US people there other than locals. It is interesting area of San francisco and you must go and visit if you have 1-2 hours. you can take the cab;e cars and go up Russian Hill.

It is very crooked unlike anything I had ever seen. If you can drive your car down it then you will get the full experience. I felt sorry for the poor saps who did not have a car and just got to take pictures.

People walk up and down the “crookedest street in the world”. People even drive down in. Well my husband and I discovered a third way --- go down in a Segway! I signed us up with Electric Tour Company (http://www.electrictourcompany.com/). There are specific requirements. For this tour “Advanced Hills and Crookedest Street”, the riders are required to have previous experience... More

Brilliant attraction. Had the good fortune to drive down the street and gain first hand experience of the attraction. Must not miss it when you are in the city - well worth a visit and excellent photo opportunities
