Russian Hill got its name from a small Russian cemetery discovered by settlers in the 1800s.
Lombard Street's famous curves were designed to reduce the hill's natural steepness, making it safer for vehicles.
The Vallejo Street Stairway offers a secret garden-like escape with stunning views of the Bay.
Russian Hill is one of the few neighborhoods where you can still ride San Francisco's iconic cable cars.
The neighborhood has been featured in several films, including the classic 'Vertigo' by Alfred Hitchcock.
