General Information
You simply must visit Lombard Street to take the most San Francisco photos. Along with the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz, Lombard is one of the most recognizable symbols of the city. It has been called none other than “the crookedest street in America,” for it is the most – the most – crooked street in this aspect in the entire world. Being at a decent angle, it wriggles like a boa constrictor in the crowns of trees. All the way down Lombard is drenched in greenery and flowers.

If you’re by car, you’d better have an automatic transmission to feel as comfortable as possible during the descent. Driving or walking down Lombard Street is like being baptized by the city of San Francisco, remember that!
