The beautiful and charming West Coast city of San Francisco is a true gem of the US, from old Victorian homes and grand sweeping views of the Bay to the mysteries of Alcatraz and quaint boutiques of Fisherman’s Wharf. You can ride a bright red cable car, hang out with the ghosts of flower children in the Haight-Ashbury and play Frisbee in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge. And then why not run full speed down the world’s most crooked street? With eight sharp angles on one city block, Lombard Street is a favorite attraction in San Francisco, its picturesque curves and flowers providing a nice and refreshing view from the bottom. And you’ll certainly need it to catch your breath!
