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 />
