What to pack for Vatican City in the summer

When visiting Vatican City, Holy See in the summer, it is important to dress modestly and respectfully due to its status as the center of the Catholic Church.

This means avoiding clothing that is too revealing or casual. Lightweight fabrics such as cotton and linen are recommended to help you stay cool in the summer heat while exploring the city. Consider bringing a mix of sleeveless tops, knee-length skirts or dresses, and lightweight trousers to cover your shoulders and knees when visiting religious sites like St.

Peter's Basilica. Comfortable walking shoes are essential as Vatican City has many cobblestone streets and long distances to cover. Additionally, it is advisable to bring a shawl or scarf to cover your shoulders if needed when entering churches or other religious buildings.

Remember to also pack a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun while touring the city.

In the summer, Vatican City has a hot and sunny climate with temperatures often reaching 30°C (86°F) or higher.

The city experiences low precipitation during this time, with some occasional thunderstorms. The warm weather and long daylight hours make it a popular time for tourists to visit and explore the outdoor attractions, such as St. Peter's Square and the Vatican Gardens.

While the summer climate is generally pleasant, visitors should be prepared for high temperatures and strong UV rays.
