Truth is it’s a bit of a con. It’s only the “world’s crookedest street” cos they’ve built chicanes all the way down, with nice civic planting. It’s not even the steepest street in the city, just the most articificially bendy.
Perhaps this would be more excting if you were from a fairly flat town?
Coming from Wellington NZ, I’m no stranger to genuinely steep narrow crooked streets (or bogus tourist attractions).
Anyway, always great to drive around a cool looking foreign city.
