User Reviews for Lombard Street

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

My hubby and I recently visited San Fran from Arizona. We took the cable car from the Pier area up to Lombard Street. It looked just how I expected it to, but it had more impact in person. The flowers were beautiful! From there, we walked up to Coit Tower (a hard walk!). Sure, there's lots of tourists around taking pictures, but this is a uniquely San Francisco experience and you have to do it at least once!

Pros: Beautiful!

Cons: Can be crowded at times

Not much you can say, it is a crooked street. You feel a bit dumb navigating all the one way streets to get here, but then you notice all the other tourists doing the same thing. Put the pride down and go for it.

I have lived in San Francisco and if you would like to drive the crookedest street, this is the one for you. Walking is also fun. With the beautiful flowers, view and homes it is the greatest.

Pros: View of the city, Beauiful flowers, Great looking homes

Sure, it's a gimmick -- but you've gotta make the trek over to the crooked part of Lombard on a trip to SF. It's fun for taking photos and wandering a bit. And, hey, it's free. There's not a whole lot else to do than look, but also close is Coit Tower.

Pros: A must-see spot

Cons: Tough to park

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

This is a magnificant view. The cobblestone street is beautifully lined w/ flowers and groomed yards. While the lines can be long on weekends/summer, it is worth it. Or better yet, take a walk.

Editor's Review

Sharp curves, lush flora and beautiful views make the "Crookedest Street in the World" a favorite stop for visitors.  See the full editorial review.
