Lombard street

Lombard Street is a famous street in San Francisco, California, best known for a steep, one-block section with eight sharp hairpin turns.
• 🌉 Nickname: “The Crookedest Street in the World” (though technically it’s not the most crooked, it’s just very scenic).
• 🏞️ Location: The famous section runs between Hyde Street and Leavenworth Street in the Russian Hill neighborhood.
• 🏗️ Design: Built in the 1920s to reduce the natural steep grade of the hill (27% slope) so vehicles could safely travel down.
• 🌺 Attraction: The street is beautifully landscaped with colorful flowers, making it one of San Francisco’s top tourist spots.
• 🚗 Driving: Cars can only drive downhill (east to west) on this block, while pedestrians can walk up and down the sidewalks.

Do you want me to also tell you about Lombard Street outside of San Francisco (like in other cities), or just the famous crooked one?
