What to bring

  • And have your walking shoes prepared if you go.

Not allowed

  • When it comes to traveling, handbags, carry-ons, or larger luggage are the three most essential items that should not be missed. And if one is going to a country where summer has already arrived or is staying in such a country at the moment, they must have some knee-high shorts, which seem like a must for most men and women. Finally, shirts without sleeves will also be among the things required.

Know before you go

  • Generally, a high level of security is expected from tourists as a matter of course, similar to those employed at an airport. At its worst, you are unlikely to have to wait longer than half an hour in the queue for the control area security check, even during the busiest periods.
  • A point worth considering is that since the rise of Pope Francis, world-renowned events taking place in the Vatican, it is likely that some sections could be closed unexpectedly. It happened sometime earlier this year, and when you go to visit the Vatican, it could happen to you as well. That probability, among others, is not seeing the Sistine Chapel. If such a thing happens to be true for you, then your guide will take you on a separate tour where some other aspects of the Vatican Museums can still be witnessed.
  • One of the dress code rules is to cover the shoulders and knees. On the other hand, skirts and shorts can be worn, provided they are not shorter than the knee. In addition, sightseeing tours should not even be considered for children under five years old.
