enough of your prescription filled to last through<br />

General Considerations<br />

General Considerations 106


Vatican Dress Code<br />

i. Papal Audience Dress Code:<br />

For the Papal Audience casual but modest dress is accepted, again ladies<br />

should still have shoulders covered particularly if the meeting is held<br />

indoors.<br />

As the Audience in Summer is usually held outside and Rome gets<br />

extremely hot, bring hats, sunscreen, water and cover up as much as<br />

possible to avoid burning.<br />

Men are permitted to wear hats throughout the audience.<br />

ii. St. Peter’s Basilica & Sistine Chapel / Vatican Museums<br />

Dress Code:<br />

Men should wear long pants and short sleeves t-shirts or shirts are<br />

OK but no vest tops. Jeans are OK, official rules state no shorts.<br />

As summers can be very hot the Vatican do sometimes relax the<br />

rules and allow Men to wear shorts however it is worth noting that<br />

this may not always be the case and the official dress code does<br />

state no shorts. It is good perhaps to carry a pair of long pants with<br />

you in case or wear the cargo style pants that allow you to unzip<br />

the lower legs to create shorts when needed.<br />

Men should also be aware that hats need to be removed be<strong>for</strong>e<br />

entering any church or Chapel which includes St Peter’s Basilica<br />

and the Sistine Chapel.<br />

Women can wear trousers, capri pants and skirts and dresses are<br />

permitted however they cannot be shorter than knee length and<br />

shoulders must be covered.<br />

In very hot weather a shawl or large scarf/Pashmina can be draped<br />

around the shoulders <strong>for</strong> visiting the sites.<br />

Bare shoulders and short skirts are not permitted and again come<br />

prepared to cover up if wearing shorts.<br />

Mens<br />

-Long pants<br />

-At least short sleeves<br />

-Long pants<br />

Accepted<br />

Women<br />
