Where It Is Set Versus Where It Was Filmed
The story is primarily set in New York City with international business and family trips, and the filming follows that geography closely. Production occurred extensively in NYC, but additional shoots took place in the UK, Italy, Norway, Croatia, Iceland and US states including California and New Mexico. A few destinations in the script were doubled elsewhere, though the major set pieces, such as the Tuscany wedding and the Norwegian retreat, were shot in the real countries shown.
The Studio Side
Interior scenes, including Logan Roy's townhouse apartments, were built on soundstages at Silvercup Studios in Long Island City, Queens. Only the townhouse lobby came from the real American Irish Historical Society. The studio is a working production facility and is not open to the public, so fans should focus on the exterior locations around Manhattan instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where was Logan Roy's townhouse in real life?
The exterior and lobby belong to the American Irish Historical Society on Fifth Avenue. The apartment interiors were constructed on soundstages at Silvercup Studios in Long Island City.
Can you visit the Waystar Royco offices?
Partly. 28 Liberty Street in the Financial District provided the headquarters exterior and some interiors, and its public plaza is freely accessible. Interior office sets were built at Silvercup Studios, which is closed to visitors.
Is the Italian wedding villa open to the public?
Villa Cetinale in Tuscany is a private estate, though occasional tours or stays may be available through official channels. Villa La Foce, used for other season 3 events, offers seasonal guided garden tours.
Can you stay at the hotel from season 4 in Norway?
Yes. The Juvet Landscape Hotel in Valldal, which also appeared in Ex Machina, is a functioning hotel. Book well in advance because of its remote location and limited rooms.
Which Succession locations are closest together?
The Manhattan sites cluster well: the American Irish Historical Society is on the Upper East Side, and 28 Liberty Street sits downtown. Oheka Castle on Long Island makes a reasonable add-on from the city.
Is there an official Succession filming location tour?
No dedicated tour exists. General screen-location bus tours of Manhattan include Fifth Avenue spots such as the Pierre Hotel that appear in the show, and sites like Eastnor Castle and Oheka Castle run their own independent visits.
Succession leaves behind one of the more rewarding location trails in recent television, simply because so much of it is real. Two Manhattan stops take an afternoon, a Norwegian hotel lets you sleep in the set, and a pair of Tuscan estates and an English castle round out the European leg. Check access rules before travelling: the split between private homes and ticketed venues is uneven, and the most photogenic sites are not always the easiest ones to enter.
