Expect heightened security, disruption during religious celebrations
Expect heightened security in Italy’s capital Rome and Vatican City over the coming months. Ongoing Roman Catholic celebrations linked to the 2025 Jubilee Year will be held until 6 January 2026. The authorities expect more than 30m travellers to participate in the celebrations and have deployed around 700 police units to ensure public safety. Security checkpoints have been established along key routes to Vatican City, including on Via della Conciliazione and Via Ottaviano. Plan journeys accounting for increased security measures and associated disruption around sensitive sites, such as tourist destinations and transport hubs. Allow additional time to complete travel.
