1. Lombard Street

Called “The Crookedest Street in the World,” it isn’t too hair-raising, but the views of North Beach as you descend are charming.
2. Top of Divisadero

The most dramatic section of Divisadero is the highest point in Pacific Heights.
3. Twin Peaks

The view from these peaks seems like one from a helicopter, hovering over the city.
4. Gough between Jackson and Washington

A hair-raising ascent, especially if your car isn’t automatic – it’s very steep.
5. Sacramento up Nob Hill

Take the bus up and hear the engine churning on its painfully slow ascent.
6. Noe at 21st Street

At the heights bordering the Castro, Noe Valley, and the Mission, this impossibly steep street will also give you a few chills.
7. Potrero Hill

Try Wisconsin Street at 20th for an experience that feels like freefall.
8. Corona Heights Park

Hiking trails and some spectacular views.
9. Russian Hill

One of the best drives in town, with great views of Fisherman’s Wharf.
10. Filbert Street

There’s a sense of flying off into space as you dive over the brink of Hyde and Leavenworth.
