San Francisco's beautiful Lombard Street calls itself "the crookedest street in the world."

Lombard Street is home to what could be San Francisco's most expensive home.

Its eight famously steep hairpin turns are fun if you enjoy bumper-to-bumper traffic and spending twice the time advancing down a single block than normal.

It comes as no surprise that Las Vegas was voted the most fun city in the US.
