Hi everyone, My husband and I are leaving for Rome on Saturday and one of our tours will be to the Vatican. Can I carry a purse in the Vatican? If so, do they have a limit on the size. I think my purse size is something like 9 x 7 x 5.9. I would love any feedback you could give me!

Yes, you can carry a purse but they do make you check certain items and certain sizes. Here is what their website says: # It is obligatory to deposit in the cloakroom suitcases, backpacks and containers with dimensions larger than cm 40 x 35 x 15. # It is obligatory to deposit in the cloakroom bags and bagpacks which are cumbersome, except those small-sized, that carried on shoulder, don't jut out by 15 cm from the body's shape in its highest point. # It is obligatory to deposit in the cloakroom any umbrella with a spike tip, umbrellas of medium and large size, walking sticks (except those required by disabled visitors to facilitate their movement), tripods for cameras and video cameras, signage of any kind (except signs used by official guides for their identification). # It is obligatory to deposit in the cloakroom knives, scissors, any tools thai could be harmful to other persons ora damage works of art in the Museums.
# It is not possible to deposit in the cloakroom, fiirearms of any kind or other dangerous objects. It is strictly forbidden to enter the Museums with any kind of weapon. Also, make sure to dress appropriately if you are going into the basilica. You may be denied entry if you are not properly dressed. Donna
