The Lombard street, famously known as the crooked street with its hairpin beds over a span of block is one of San Francisco's famous landmarks. Get down a tram at the starting of the intersection of Lombard street and walk down the steps. Or drive till Lombard street and if you choose to stop for pictures, street parking is available too.
Lombard street is a one way street and you can only drive down the hairpin bends. If you are wondering why the car in the picture is going UP, you are definitely mistaken. They are driving down. IN REVERSE ..... I would have never thought of that !!! Straight road from Lombard street goes to Coit tower.
