| | | | Lombard Street: Lombard Street - Explore the neighborhood | | | | | |
I see many tourists pull up in taxis or rental cars, hop out, snap a few photos of the crooked street, and leave. There are actually steeper, more crooked streets in San Francisco, but what makes Lombard Street amazing is the neighborhood. It is a historical gem with hidden staircases, cafes, and beautiful views. The hills in this particular part of town are killer, so wear decent walking shoes, and explore a little bit.
My favorite view of Alcatraz is from the corner of Hyde and Chestnut Streets, just one block over from the top of Lombard Street. If you head down Chestnut Street one block, you will stumble upon the San Francisco Art Institute. All the way in the back is a cafe that serves really affordable meals and freshly baked pastries, and a view that overlooks the whole city. Even though I live here, I love walking down Lombard Street and stopping by SFAI. It offers amazing views, and even has a peaceful roof to sunbathe on. It is not open on weekends though, so plan accordingly.
