Vatican question -- are cameras allowed or will I need to check information technology?
We're planning on a 9:30 am tour. I know we're not allowed to bring bags or umbrellas. Will I be immune to bring my camera?

Nosotros toured the Vatican in 2006. We were not only allowed to take photographs only we could shoot videos in St. Peter'southward Basilica, too equally the Vatican museum.
Yet, y'all MAY NOT take photos in the Sistine Chapel. If yous do, you will exist LOUDLY reminded to put your camera away.
Simply other than that, I cannot remember any restrictions regarding photography in the Vatican.

In the museum there is the obvious restriction (at least it should exist obvious to anyone who loves fine art): no flash. The frescoes and many other items in there are sensitive to calorie-free. Yu may have photos but without flash, except in the Sistina as already stated.
In the church anybody was happily flashing around.

And despite the guards constantly yelling 'no camera', 'no photo', information technology doesn't stop people trying to take photos, with flash, in the Sistine Chapel. Too despite a big detect asking for silence (as a place of worship), the general noise level is disappointingly high. You don't take to check your camera - just that y'all cannot employ with flash in the museums, and non at all in th Sistine Chapel. No restriction for using camera in St Peter's Basilica, except during Mass, of course (and merely when used inconsiderately).

Unfortunately some people are that ignorant. These are frescoes which are afflicted past the strong light of flashes. One per yr would not matter but hundreds per day certainly do, trust an art historian. These people contribute to the destruction of an invaluable and unique work of art. The same applies to all those frescoed palaces and churches all over Italy and elsewhere.
Flash photos, and photos altogether considering of those ignorants who don't plough their flash off, are not forbidden "only because they want to sell their postcards".
Delight keep that in heed...

I got quite a few overnice pics in the museum (without using flash!) and then information technology's not banned.
I retrieve a lot of people merely keep their camera on an auto setting and have no idea how to plow the flash off.

I get upset with people who apply their flashes when they know they are not supposed to do so. I commented such to someone in Paris. The person looked at me and then continued to take photos with a wink. I guess it never occurred to her to buy a postcard. Thanks for the reassurance that I won't take to check my camera.

Please brand certain you exercise take a bout. We loved the Icon Tours bout guide. He got give-and-take that the Sistine Chapel was endmost in xxx minutes, so he rushed united states of america through the Vatican Museum so we did non miss it. We would have otherwise. We were free to return to the museum. If we had not been on a tour we would take had no thought well-nigh the Chapel closing (I gauge it happens all the time) and would accept missed that incredible place.
Also, a tour gets you straight into the museum and St. Peter'south, in front of the long (VERY LONG) queue awaiting entrance.
One more than thought. I wish we had taken the Scavy (sp?) Tour, run past the Vatican itself. You will be taken downward beneath St. Peter'southward to the catacombs. Wait into it (check the Vatican website). You need advance reservations.
Bon voyage!
Bob
