The World’s Most Crooked Street: Checking Out Lombard

Meeting Place: 
Hostel common room
    Want to see something beautiful and earn a fit booty at the same time? We’ve got just the thing for you! One of San Francisco’s famous tourist sights, Lombard Street, just happens to have a stretch located on a verrry steep hill which makes climbing up quite the workout! In fact, it’s so steep that it has eight hairpin turns and has been dubbed “the most crooked street in the world"! There is some dispute with another street in SF, Vermont St., which is just as crooked as slightly steeper, but Lombard gets all the fame and glory. It also gets all the tourists, so don’t worry about cars flying by you- everyone has to drive incredibly slow both because of the turns and to avoid the many people climbing around to check out the views. The street is lined with beautiful brick and gorgeous flowers and greenery all around. It’s worth a visit if you’ve never been. Join Jonas at the hostel at 11am to head out to see it.
