Russian Hill, perched on one of the original seven hills in the city, is a picturesque neighborhood in San Francisco. The name of this area was decided when the first settlers discovered a small Russian Cemetery on top of this hill. Polka Street here is known for shopping opportunities whereas Ina Coolbrith Park has become the place to relax. But the most famous of all is Lombard Street, a one-way street known for its eight sharp turns. Explore San Francisco’s Russian Hill and get a glimpse of the city’s lifestyle.
