Russian Hill
Perhaps the best example of the kind of neighborhood people envision when they think of San Francisco, upscale Russian Hill is where youโll find the world-famous crooked section of Lombard Street. Steep streets lined with fine, classic San Francisco homes, served by cable cars, further enhance the neighborhoodโs iconic image. Russian Hillโs lofty location also affords scenic views of the city, bay, Alcatraz Island, Golden Gate Bridge and Coit Tower. Fishermanโs Wharf, Ghirardelli Square and the San Francisco Art Institute are all within walking distance.
