Where is the zigzag street in San Francisco?

Last updated February 22, 2021 by ZagBot Comment

The iconic section of Lombard Street in San Francisco is the block between Hyde and Leavenworth Streets in the Russian Hill neighborhood.

Here, the one-way downhill section snakes its way through a series of eight tight hairpin turns, leading to it being dubbed the Crooked Street.

This red-brick-paved section was created in 1922 to make the hill’s steep grade more manageable for vehicles, and later landscaped with neatly-clipped low hedges edging planted areas filled with hydrangeas. It is a popular tourist attraction, particularly in summer, when the shrubs are in full bloom and the bursts of blue, pink, and white flowers create picture postcard-worthy photo opportunities.
