Città del Vaticano: cosa sapere prima di partire
L’essenziale
- Check Italy’s admission requirements for the journey through Rome.
- Cover shoulders and knees for museum and basilica visits; inappropriate clothing can prevent entry.
Ingresso e visti
Tourist access is through Rome, so Italy’s entry and stay rules apply to the journey. Admission to museums and religious sites is separate from immigration permission: use official bookings and follow security checks. No independent Vatican visa entitlement is asserted for any passport group.
Validità del passaporto: For travel through Italy, Schengen documents normally need 3 months’ validity after departure and issue within the previous 10 years.
