Luggage storage solutions outside the Vatican Museums

guide to vatican museums

Finding luggage storage locations near the Vatican Museums and St Peter Square is essential if you want to visit one of Rome’s most fascinating attractions without stress and worries.

Inside the museums, there are very strict laws that, if violated, force the authorized personnel to expel the visitor.

In addition, before starting the tour of the museums, it’s necessary to leave the following items in the cloakroom:

  • Food and drink
  • Each piece of luggage larger than 40 x 35 x 25 cm.
  • Large backpacks.
  • Umbrellas, signs, easels and sticks (with the exception of those used for walking).
  • Scissors, knives or other metal material that could pose a danger to things and people.
  • Other forbidden items.

Although the cloakroom is for free and allows you to store many things, some limitations could ruin your day.

As stated in the official Vatican Museums cloakroom regulations, visitors can’t leave the following items in the cloakroom:

  • Money, wallets and checkbooks.
  • Mobile devices, such as mobile phones, tablets and laptops.
  • Cameras.
  • Coats and jackets.
  • Other forbidden items.

Maybe you don’t know that your luggage can be destroyed

Since unforeseen events are always lurking around the corner, we advise you to use the luggage storage services a few meters from the Vatican Museums. In this way, you’ll make the most of your day and, of course, avoid any damage to your property!

Moreover, touring the Vatican Museums takes you at least 3 hours (not to mention the queueing time). So, even if you have a very small backpack or a handbag with you, it’s much better to leave it in an external left luggage facility.

Within this large complex building, there are several galleries, such as the Vatican Art Gallery, the Pio-Clementino Museum, or the Gallery of Maps.

The Sistine Chapel is a dream

This Chapel isn’t famous just for its structure, but for the frescoes on its ceiling.

Painted by Michelangelo Buonarroti in four years, these frescoes of inhuman beauty depict the Creation of Adam and the Last Judgement.

Goethe wrote, “Without having seen the Sistine Chapel, one can form no appreciable idea of what one man is capable of achieving.”

Indeed, visiting this Vatican City attraction is an unforgettable experience and should be repeated several times in a lifetime.
