I want to see Lombard Street—should I walk, drive, or book a tour that includes it?

Walking is the best way to experience Lombard Street, hands down. Driving down the “crookedest street” sounds fun in theory, but traffic backs up, and you’ll miss the view that way. The best photo spot is at the top, at Hyde Street—especially in the morning when the light is good. From there, you can walk down the steps on either side and take in the gardens, old houses, and people navigating those tight turns.

If you’re not up for walking the hills (they’re steep!), some small-group city tours include a stop or drive-by, and a few open-air vehicles or van tours even drive down it. Cable cars stop a block away, so it’s easy to add to any itinerary on foot, too.
