When originally built, Lombard Street was two-way. However, this turned out to be problematic, so today, you’ll find that it’s one-way. To drive it, you’ll need to start at the top where it intersects Hyde Street. Fortunately, Google Maps will direct you to exactly the right spot. Once you begin the drive down, the only way out is on Leavenworth St...
If you’re coming on a weekend — or any busy time of the year — expect a line of cars waiting to drive down Lombard Street. Traffic can back up several blocks while drivers wait their turn to descend. Additionally, most people drive very slowly down the street, both to enjoy the views and to navigate the eight turns. If you’re in a rush, this isn’t ...
I have been able to see Lombard Street with few other cars by arriving early in the morning. Since this is a public street, it’s always open. If you have a long list of sites to see, make this the first stop of the day. Typically, a weekday will be better than a weekend, but that can vary depending on other events going on in the city.

Instead of the stressful wait combined with maneuvering a motor vehicle through the curves, I leisurely stroll down the steps lining the street, thoroughly enjoying the gorgeous views. But walking has its own challenges. First, you’ll need to decide how to get there. During my l...
While this may feel like an attraction out of Disney, it is indeed a street lined with private homes. Whether you’re walking or driving, keep your eyes peeled for residents that may be exiting or entering their driveways. And be sure to stay off private property if you’re walking. Along the way, you’ll see staircases leading to front doors. Please ...
If you’re tight on time, you may just need to head to Lombard Street and take off for your next destination. However, I’d recommend allowing a bit of time before or after Lombard Street to experience the charming and historic Russian Hill neighborhood that surrounds it. If you want more views of the city, head to Russian Hill Park. Or shop, dine, a...

Surrounded by Russian Hill mansions and perfectly manicured landscaping and flowers, it is also one of the city’s most scenic streets.
