A covering for a vehicle, in particular for the interior of a vehicle, e.g. for mounting above the seat rows of an airplane, comprises a covering element (22) with a front side (30) facing the interior of the vehicle when built in and a rear side (34). Further, the covering has a stiffening brace (42) for increasing the rigidity of the covering element (22), the brace being attached to the rear side (34) of the covering element (22). The stiffening brace (42) is connected with the covering element (22) in a plugged and captive manner.
