Knees and shoulders must be covered for both men and women. You may risk refused entry if you fail to comply with these dress requirements.
Because of the growing popularity of the current pope Francis and his intense activity in organising mass events in the Vatican some areas might get closed last minute without previous notice.

In case of such events our tour guide will provide you with a valuable alternative focusing the tour inside the Vatican museums.
