Where Did Hannah Film The Iconic Rooftop Scene?

Which 'Hannah' are you thinking of? That little ambiguity matters because there are a few well-known rooftop moments tied to different Hannahs, and they were shot in very different places. If you mean Hannah Horvath from the TV show 'Girls', most of that series was shot on location around New York City — lots of exteriors and rooftop-y moments were filmed in Manhattan and Brooklyn. If you mean the action film 'Hanna' (note the single n vs. double n), the movie was shot across Europe (Czech Republic, Spain, the UK), so any rooftop sequences were staged on location during those international shoots. And if you mean a viral TikTok/YouTube creator named Hannah, many creators film iconic rooftop scenes on accessible city rooftops or parking structures in places like Los Angeles, Brooklyn, or London.

I got a little nerdy the last time I tried to track down a rooftop from a favorite show, so here’s a practical way to narrow it down: check IMDb’s ‘filming locations’ for the title, glance through the episode/film credits (sometimes the production notes name specific locations), search hashtags on Instagram — production crews or local photographers often post behind-the-scenes shots — and use Google Street View or satellite imagery to compare skyline silhouettes, chimneys, and rooftop railings. Film commissions for cities (like FilmLA, Film London, or the Czech Film Commission) sometimes list major shoots, which helped me confirm a Prague scene once.

If you want, share a screenshot or link to the clip — I love sleuthing this stuff and can help pin it down. Otherwise, tell me which Hannah you meant and I’ll dive deeper; I’ve spent too many late nights cross-referencing credits and geeking out over rooftop brick patterns, so this is basically my idea of a good time.

Okay, quick and casual take: if you’re talking about Hannah Horvath’s rooftop moments in 'Girls', those were filmed in New York City — a mix of Manhattan and Brooklyn locations for the show’s exterior shots. If the rooftop scene is from the film 'Hanna' (different spelling), the production shot urban scenes across Europe, so look to Prague, Spain, or the UK for those locations. For an independent creator named Hannah, try checking the post’s location tag or the creator’s Instagram; many rooftop clips are filmed on accessible parking garages or multi-story rooftops in LA, NYC, or other big cities.

Want me to be more specific? Drop a screenshot or a timestamp and I’ll hunt it down — I actually enjoy this kind of detective work.
