Every shot in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo is as beautiful as a carefully-planned painting. And with San Francisco as a backdrop, Hitchcock's keen eye and OCD for planning are illuminated. Here are a few spots that might jog your memory.
Here’s where Kim Novak’s character, Madeleine comes to stare at the portrait of Carlotta Valdes. The museum actually recreated this exact scene for a special Hitchcock homage in the past.

California Palace Of The Legion Of Honor
Scottie's House
900 Lombard St., San Francisco, CA
Scottie’s apartment is located only a couple of blocks away from the most anti-climactic tourist attraction in all of San Francisco, pictured to the right.
Scottie's Street
Here’s the view from his jaguar when he trails Madeleine.
Ernie's Eatery (closed in 1955)
847 Montgomery, San Francisco, CA
Scottie first spies Madeleine at Ernie's.
Something about that red wallpaper and smoking jackets galore just makes a girl want to drink some dry sherry in an evening gown. Too bad the classy Ernie’s is no longer.
Podesta Baldocchi
Art deco makes me queasy…
Brocklebank Apartments - Madeleine's Apartment Building
1000 Mason St., San Francisco, CA
The York Hotel, today.
Here's the real way to win a man like Scottie...
Palace of Fine Arts
3301 Lyon St, San Francisco, CA 94123
Scottie and Madeleine take a quick stroll past this iconic site. If you’ve never seen this place at night/sunset, add it to your list. It’s quite stunning. But watch out: I saw a skunk roaming around there once!

Mission Dolores Basilica
3321 16th St, San Francisco, CA 94114
Evidently, the tombstone that Madeleine visits in the film was left there for a while after Vertigo’s completion. Finally, the bishop gave it the ixnay after he realized tourists were trampling over the grounds of real graves to see this iconic film tombstone.

Carlotta's Eerie Portrait
Haven't seen Vertigo yet?
Watch it on Netflix. It’s one of the ones you can stream from your computer.
Podesta Baldocchi
224 Grant Ave., San Francisco, CA
This is the flower shop where Scottie finds Madeleine purchasing flowers for Carlotta’s grave. Although the business no longer has a storefront, this is where it was originally filmed.
Kimmy's strange shopping spree.
Empire Hotel
940 Sutter St, San Francisco, CA
This is where Judy lives. The building still exists, though it is now called the “Hotel York.”
This ultimate eerie scene takes place at the Empire Hotel.
Even though most of the interiors were shot in L.A., I would still feel creepy going into this hotel to this day.
Ransohoffs (closed in 1976)
259 Post, San Francisco, CA
This is the place where Scottie gets extra creepy and tries to get Judy to pretend to be Madeleine.
Suicidal tendencies and confused identities are always a plus in dating.
I'm pretty jealous of this view...
But not of poor Midge. She’ll never get a man by actually being kind, forthcoming, intelligent, successful and single.
