Vatican Museums: frequently asked questions

Can you take photos in the Sistine Chapel?

No. Photos and video are not allowed in the Sistine Chapel, phones are not allowed and you must stay silent. In the rest of the museums you can take photos for personal use, without flash.

What is the dress code?

Cover your shoulders and knees. Sleeveless tops, low necklines, shorts, short skirts and hats are not allowed.

Can I bring a backpack?

Large bags and backpacks go to the free cloakroom before the entrance, together with big umbrellas, tripods and similar items. Everyone passes a metal detector.

Can I see the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica on the same day?

Yes. Independent visitors leave at the end of the route and walk to the Basilica, and a guided tour covers the museums, the Sistine Chapel and the Basilica together.
