*** About Lombard Street: Lombard Street in San Francisco, renowned for its steep, one-block section with eight hairpin turns, is often called the “crookedest street in the world.” This iconic road, located in the Russian Hill district, was designed in this unique manner in the 1920s to reduce the hill’s natural 27 percent grade, which was too steep for most vehicles. The scenic switchbacks are bordered by beautiful landscaping and lovely Victorian mansions, making it a beloved spot for tourists and photographers alike, drawn by its distinctive design and picturesque setting.
