Russian/Nob Hill
The most famous attraction in Russian Hill is, by far,
Lombard Street, whose flower-flanked, hairpin turns have graced many a postcard. The commercial centers of Polk and Hyde streets beckon with unique shops and fantastic restaurants, including
Frascati,
Zarzuela, and
Antica Trattoria.
In the adjacent neighborhood of
Nob Hill, posh hotels and apartment buildings adorn the skyline, but what really takes you higher are the steeper-than-steep streets. Walking shoes are a must, but after all that climbing, your reward is a panoply of unforgettable views of the city, the bay, and Marin in the distance. Solace for sore feet can be sought on the iconic
San Francisco Cable Car, with several routes running through
Nob Hill. When in the area, also be sure to check out the
Cable Car Museum and neo-Gothic
Grace Cathedral.
