Vatican Bag restriction

[MonDreamr1]

I've read several places that the Vatican tour has restrictions on large bags. I haven't been able to find the measurements for what they consider to be a large bag. Does anyone know the max bag size?

Has anyone had any experience with their bag check? Is it safe to leave anything in the bag?

 

I am mainly worried about my camera bag/purse. It is a sling over the shoulder bag not a backpack.

(33cm x 31cm x 8 cm or 13in x 12.2in x 3.2 in)

 

Which is normally fine sizewise in other museums I know there are photography restrictions in parts and am fine not using the camera in those parts. I just have issues leaving my camera (dSLR) and bag if the area is not secure.

 

TIA

Hi,

 

I can't believe you would have any problems with that, unless their regulations have changed in the last couple of years (last time I was in the Vatican museums).

Thanks!

Was just in the V. museum last week. That size bag is no problem. It's the back packs that they are more concerned about.
