Locations: http://www.seeing-stars.com/locations/Hitchcock.shtml
In terms of location, Hitchcock didn't use the original locations where scenes took place but used places that were authentic to the era. The list is:
The opening scene at the United Artists theatre in Chicago, Illinois was really shot at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles.
The Orpheum Theatre was also used as the interior location for the DeMille Theatre in New York City for the scene of Psycho's opening night. The exterior was filmed at L.A.'s Palace Theatre.
Alfred Hitchcock and Alma Reville's home was shot at a house in Alpine Drive, Beverly Hills.
HOWEVER... The drive up to the house in the scene where Janet Leigh takes Hitchcock home was shot Stone Canyon Road in Bel Air.
The shop where Alma buys her swimming costume is a real shop called Faye's Intimate Apparel in Montrose, California.
Paramount Pictures was the only location which was the real place on Bronson Avenue in Hollywood.
Even though Paramount distributed Psycho, the film was shot at Universal Studios Hollywood on Stage 24.
The scenes at the beach were shot at Sycamore Canyon Beach.
And finally, all the restaurant scenes in the film are shot in the same restaurant, Musso & Frank Grill on Hollywood Boulevard.
