What to pack for Holy See in the summer

When packing for a summer trip to the Holy See, it's important to remember that the dress code is conservative due to its religious significance.

As a visitor, it's important to show respect by dressing modestly. This means bringing clothes that cover your shoulders and knees, especially when visiting religious sites such as St. Peter's Basilica.

For the summer weather in the Holy See, lightweight and breathable clothing is key. Opt for lightweight tops, dresses, and pants made of materials such as cotton or linen to help you stay cool in the Mediterranean climate. Don't forget to pack comfortable walking shoes, as there will be plenty of walking to do in the city of Vatican. Lastly, it's advisable to also pack a shawl or scarf to cover up if needed, particularly when visiting religious sites.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that you are both comfortable and respectful during your visit to the Holy See.

The climate of the Holy See in the summer is typically hot and humid, with temperatures often reaching into the high 80s to low 90s°F.
