Usual caution

Slovenia advises citizens travelling to Vatican City to use usual precautions because no security reasons make travel inadvisable. Be alert for petty theft, which is linked to the large number of tourists, and cover shoulders and wear long trousers or skirts to enter St Peter's Basilica and other churches. Check documents, insurance, entry and transit conditions, and follow local instructions.
