Most Amazing Streets in the World

Lombard Street United States
Lombard Street in San Francisco is famous for its bizarre hairpin turns. There are eight of the turns (called switchbacks) and the street is known as thecrookedest street in the world.

The twisting section of Lombard Street is now one way in order to make it safer and there is a parking ban in place.
