Take a tour of Lombard Street in San Francisco, United States -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats. Hi, I'm Naomi and I'm very excited to show you the world's greatest attractions. Visitors driving in San Francisco beware. There is a street here with an international reputation. Lombard Street is a prime contestant for the title of curviest road in the world. This famous street has a quarter mile section that slopes at a 27 degrees grade. The road goes through a series of 8 switchbacks, with a speed limit of 5 miles per hour. This section is banked with colorful flowerbeds and lined with expensive homes. The street itself is one way, going downhill for this stretch, but pedestrians can attempt the climb. Many find entertainment in simply watching drivers and their antics as they navigate Lombard Street. Thank you for watching our travel video series. See you next time.
