    Ok, so its a curvy street! Yes, its just a curvy street, but it is pretty cool to see. I mean, there arn't too many streets that are that curvy anywhere else. You can get some cool photos of it, but there isn't anything these besides the Street.

    Lombard Street in San Francisco, the world's steepest street, is well worth checking out! It's definitely jaw-dropping in real life and it's a must on the list of any trip to San Francisco.

    Everyone how ever has driven in San Francisco has gone down Lombard Street. This is the street that has the serpentine course down the hill. How come in the movies nobody is driving on that street, but when I go there, it is choked with traffic?

    That's is one twisted road. The turns going down that steep section between Hyde and Leavenworth are extremly tight. And of course I wanted and have driven it. It's fun!!!

    Wait for an hour for a 20 second drive through some nice plants. Do yourself a favor - park and walk.

    It's a neat place to see, a bit overrated by tourists, but a pretty place all the same! I dont know, maybe I just have good memories, but I know I liked it!

    I have to agree w/ Wiggum. It is a curvy street. Big deal!

    I rated this 4 for good mainly because you shouldnt go to San Fran and not go to the crooked street. For some reason I thought it was longer, or not a residential street, so I was a little disappointed. I felt kind of like a lame tourist standing there taking pictures, but you just have to get a picture if you're there.

    What a joke. Wow, a street... what good is it for an attraction when all you can do is go down it? 5 miles in your car, wow. Open it up to bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, etc. I would not recommend this site to anyone visiting the area (and I never put it on my agenda when I have friends out of the area come in).

    Lombard street is one of those things you just have to do to say you've done it. It isn't really that cool but it is the fact that after you can say, 'I have been down the curvyest street in the world'. It has some nice homes on the side, and a good view of Coit Tower. It is best to go during the day or on a clear night so that you can see the view.

    Lombard is a very interesting street to see. It is nicely decorated with flowers and other greenery. It's a lot of fun to drive...it's like weaving through traffic. However, after seeing it once, the trips back aren't so interesting.

    You can't visit the windy city without taking a walk down the world's most crooked street. People take pictures and drive down it all the time. But you don't experience the true elegance and magnificence until you walk up and down it yourself.

    It's fun to drive through Lombard Street. It's even more fun if you are driving with a stick shift.

    The crooked street is interesting and a cool place to take some snap shots and drive through, but it can only hold your interest and attention for so long.

    If there is a San Francisco attraction that should drift into the ocean this is it. Its nauseating and dangerous.

    Lombard Street is a 5 because there are no streets like that anywhere else that I know of. It's so curvy and fun to drive down. It's kind of scary too because it is so steep. Walking on it is hard too. Whenever anyone visits, I bring them to Lombard St.

    Very cool street. Don't spend time driving down it. Just park at the top, walk over, and take a look.

    While it is pretty cool to see a street that is THAT crooked, it's not something that you will want to do more than once. If you are on foot, take a walk through the little park that is on the corner of Lombard one block up from Polk. It is quiet, and has a nice view of the Golden Gate.

    I don't really understand it, but it was cool to see and ride down..Would like to see it when all of the gardens are in bloom.

    A must-see during the summer. You can skip it during the winter. There's nothing much you can see.

    I live on Lombard, so I see all the tourists lining up to drive down the crooked part of the street, but I still don't understand it. Yeah, there's a cool view at the top of the hill, but what's the big deal?
