On Location - Breakfast at Tiffany's

The exterior scenes were all filmed on location, except for the end, when Holly Golightly is looking for Cat in the alleyway. And all the interior scenes were shot in the Paramount Studios in Hollywood, except for the scene inside Tiffany & Co. The scenes on the fire escape stairs were also shot in the studio (Upper East side brownstones don't have tenement fire escapes like the one on which Holly strums her guitar). Sources: walkoffthebigapple.com, movie-locations.com, moviediva.com, and film itself.
