Our next stop was this very quaint street called Lombard. Lombard has a very steep slope, and is a very crooked one. Zigzagging through its 8 sharp turns, we survived the difficult drive at the speed of 5kph per hour. It could very well be one of the most crooked streets in the world, well at least its the most crooked I have seen.
The street was designed as such to make it more navigable. It would be very difficult to drive, or to walk that street if it were a straight line, given its slope.
Today, it has become a popular tourist spot. It was a good, very slow zigzag ride from the top, capped with picture taking at the bottom with the sight of cars maneuvering the crooked road at the background.
