Steep Hill
Parim aeg külastamiseks
Visit on a weekday morning in spring or autumn when the street is quietest and the low sun casts long shadows across the cobblestones. Avoid summer weekends when cruise ship crowds and day trippers make the narrow pavement feel claustrophobic.
Eelarvenõuanded
Walking the street itself costs nothing. Several of the independent shops and tearooms offer window displays worth a slow browse, but skip the touristy souvenir shops halfway up where prices are marked up 30 percent.
Soovitatav
Photography enthusiasts, History lovers, Solo travelers seeking character, Couples on a relaxed day out

Teave
Kiired faktid: Kaldega 1:7 (umbes 14,5 kraadi) ühendab see keskaegne peatänav ülal asuva toomkiriku kvartali all asuva kesklinnaga. Tänav sai oma nime puhtast füüsilisest pingutusest, mida sellel ronimine nõudis, ja kohaliku traditsiooni kohaselt maksti vanasti senti neile, kes suutsid seda mööda söekotiga üles joosta.
Esiletõstmised: Otsi poodide vahel peituvaid väikseid 12. sajandi juudi maju, nende ukseavad on madalal maapinna lähedal ja aknad vaevalt meetri kõrgused. Tipus peatu 13. sajandi keskaegse gildihoone ees, kus võid siiski näha originaalseid raudrõngaid, millega hobuseid sadu aastaid tagasi kinni seoti.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Wear flat grippy shoes, the 12th-century cobbles are polished smooth by millions of feet and get dangerously slippery when damp.
- Skip the main route up and take the parallel 'Vicar's Court' lane for a quieter climb with fewer tourists and better photo angles of the cathedral.
- Stop at the halfway point bench outside the antique bookshop for the best view of the street's curve stretching both up and down.
- Visit just before a rain shower, the wet cobblestones reflect the streetlights and shop windows like a medieval mirror.
