Absolutely fantastic! Didn't even know it was possible to leave your bags at drop off points until I was googling to see if there were lockers at the train station. Smasher, easy to remember, simple- and I mean simple- to book, no over-asking of personal info, not bothering me with 'creating an account' just a simple purchase of a ticket, then I get an address and ticket number. PERFECT. The people at the place we used were wonderful! SO friendly and helpful, it felt like friends were looking after our bags... and no fear they would get lost, a very lovely personal service, and at a reasonable price.

Service spot was easy to find thanks to the photo provided. It was close enough and the owner was too kind to arrange a taxi to aeroport for us! Overall impression is very good!

The location was convenient, only a few steps away from the Vatican, and the service there was good. It’s a tour office, which is nice because you can buy skip-the-line tickets to get into the Vatican, the Colosseum, to Pompeii, etc. The problem, and that’s the reason for the lower review, was that the Stasher website said the location would be open until 6 PM, where in reality we were informed by the lady at the drop off location that they would close at 4 PM. We got there at about noon, so we had enough time to see the Vatican. The lady told us the she had informed Stasher many times about their actual closing time but Stasher just never updated the information online. She actually called Stasher while we were there and told them again. So if you can live with a closing time of 4 PM, this is a great place. I just think Stasher needs to get their act together.

Storage and bag rules at the Vatican

Vatican City sits as a landlocked sovereign city-state entirely enclosed within Rome, and nearly everyone arriving there has the same practical question: what to do with a suitcase or daypack that's too big to carry around.

The Vatican Museums don't allow suitcases, large bags, or rucksacks bigger than 40 x 35 x 15 cm into the exhibition spaces, but they provide a free cloakroom to hold anything unsuitable for the galleries. Whatever you leave there must be collected the same day before the museum closes, so a late-afternoon visit still means reclaiming your things before you leave.

St. Peter's Basilica itself has no cloakroom or luggage storage inside, and visitors are advised not to bring large bags at all.

However, a free deposit area for prohibited items, including luggage and large bags, is available to the right of the Basilica's façade at ground floor level, and it is also where bags must be left before a Vatican Scavi visit, since large bags and luggage are prohibited there. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 per bag a day at 20+ locations near the Vatican.

Some top Stasher locations near the Vatican include:

Local shop, 5 min walk · open 08:00–22:00 every day · rated 5/5 (30+ reviews)
