*** About Lombard Street: Lombard Street in San Francisco is famed for its steep, one-block section with eight hairpin turns. Touted as "the crookedest street in the world," this notable San Francisco landmark attracts millions of tourists each year. Designed in 1922 by Carl Henry and paved in red brick, this street was created to reduce the hill's natural 27% grade, which was too steep for most vehicles. The scenic, postcard-worthy views it offers of the city, coupled with its unique design, make it a must-see destination. Especially enchanting during the winter or festive seasons, Lombard Street transforms into a picturesque scene straight out of a holiday card.
