Appropriate skirt and short length in Italy

We are going on the Classic Italy trip Sept. 10. Will a skirt (for women) or short (for men) that comes to the TOP of the knee be acceptable to wear into the cathedrals and churches (other than at the Vatican)?

Comments

  • Usually the Italian churches require that shoulders and knees are covered.

  • What trip are you on Cookie? I am on the 9/4/2013 trip.
  • We are on the 9/10/13 trip, crackers.
  • Cookie,

    My wife and I arrive in Naples on Sept. 9 to begin the Classic Italy tour. I assume we're on the same tour since you mention September 10. Please let us know. We are interested in hearing from others on this tour.

  • Hi Cookie,

    The guidance we receive from The Vatican is that knees and shoulders should be covered at all times when visiting any church-related building, be it the Sistine Chapel, Cathedrals, or otherwise.

    Hope this helps,
    Aaron
