Lombard Street Description

This street doesn't just have to be seen to be believed -- it has to be walked down. Hint: Those great photos you've seen weren't taken from car windows. Plus, your kids will enjoy feeling smug as they watch the frustrated drivers honking and glowering as they snake their way down the hill.

  • Roadside Landmark

Kid Tips

Babies: Because of the very steep downgrade, if you're bringing a baby, you may want to drive then descend on foot with a stroller.

Planning Notes

  • Parking is a hassle. If you'd rather avoid the frustration, take the Powell-Hyde Cable Car, which stops at the top of Lombard Street.
