Baldwin Street, Dunedin in New Zealand's South Island.

There are some great photos on the following link.
"Baldwin Street is the steepest street in the world. Another country tried to take it, but we got it back so we can walk up it now, which is really lucky."

Baldwin Street, in Dunedin, New Zealand, has been reinstated as the world’s steepest street (road) after a formal record review.

Baldwin street previously held the record for over a decade until June 2019, when the record was awarded to Ffordd Pen Llech, in Harlech, Wales.

The decision to reinstate the previous record holder was reached following the completion of an extensive review of an appeal, brought by representatives of Baldwin Street.
