Lombard Street Insider Tips
- The best way to enjoy this activity is to walk on the stairs which line the main road. Traffic on Lombard Street is generally in high volume, and driving while sight seeing can be difficult and prove very dangerous!
- Unless you are looking for a physical challenge, most people prefer to walk down the street to avoid climbing the steep incline.
- Due to a high volume of tourists, Lombard Street is closed during select weekends during the summer. Check with your hotel or local news websites to make sure the street is open on the day you wish to visit.
- This activity does not require much time. Luckily the Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39, which offer further activities and entertainment, are within a mile walking distance.
