Lombard Street
Giddiness comes with the territory atop Lombard St, peer-
ing down at eight brick-paved, flower-lined switchbacks
down the 27% grade of Russian Hill. Lombard's title as
'world's crookedest street' is grammatically and factually
incorrect - Vermont St in Potrero Hill deserves this street
cred - but the thrills are real. Hitchcock used this steep
block to induce
Vertigo
, and skate legend Tony Hawk included its challenging turns in his
Pro Skater video game. Take the 250 steps down instead - residents keep a sharp eye on
this scenic street.
