Visiting the Pantheon in Rome was an unforgettable experience. This place impresses not only with its incredible history but also with the overwhelming sense of grandeur you feel the moment you step inside. The massive dome with the open oculus lets in natural light that changes throughout the day, creating a magical atmosphere that feels alive. I stood still for a while, simply taking in the silence and imagining all the centuries that have passed within these walls. Even though there were many tourists, the Pantheon still gave me a surprising sense of peace and harmony. It is one of those places that leaves a lasting memory, and I truly recommend everyone to see it at least once in their lifetime.

The Pantheon is a must visit. Its much bigger than I expected. I happened to visit while a choir was singing. The building is surprisingly well preserved.

It is unfortunate that the government started charging to view the incredible Basilica of St. Mary and the Martyrs. There should never be a mandatory fee to enter a house of worship. That being said, Headout made it very easy to get tickets for my family. We just walked straight to the guards scanning the tickets and went in. It is also unfortunate that the dress code was not enforced as this is a Church and not a museum.

Very fun and interesting walking tour through the heart of Rome. Our guide Elena took us from the Spanish Steps to the Trevi Fountain, the famous Pantheon and the Piazza Navona. She had a detailed knowledge of Rome and its history, was always attentive to the group and could explain a lot in an understandable and entertaining way. The ticketing process was fast, the meeting point/time instructions clear and accurate.

Rome Pantheon | Ancient temple-turned-church

Originally a temple dedicated to all the Roman gods, the Roman Pantheon went through a fascinating transformation, becoming a Christian church that continues to inspire awe today. Step inside this architectural wonder and discover its rich history, from its pagan past to its enduring role as a place of worship. Its awe-inspiring dome reaches for the sky, while the oculus funnels light from the heavens, making playful patterns on the floor below.

From expertly curated Rome Pantheon ticket options to comprehensive travel information, here's everything you need for an unforgettable visit.

Things to know before booking tickets to Pantheon Rome

  • General admission to the Pantheon costs €5, but it comes with long queues, sometimes stretching up to an hour during peak hours. There are typically three lines at the entrance—one for pre-booked ticket holders, one for those who are purchasing on-spot tickets with cash and the other for those purchasing on-spot tickets by card. Fast-track tickets (starting at €7) let you skip the ticket line. However, you’ll still need to go through the ticket redemption queue and security, which can be long during peak season.
  • If you want a completely hassle-free experience, hosted entry tickets are a great option. A dedicated host will meet you at the entrance with pre-validated tickets, allowing you to skip the redemption queue and assisting you through the entire process.
  • An hour before Mass begins (which is at 5pm on Saturdays and pre-holidays, and 10:30am on Sundays and holidays), the Pantheon closes itself to tourist traffic. You can still visit during this time, but sightseeing won't be allowed. If you're visiting as a tourist, consider booking a slot 2-3 hours before Mass, or after.
  • A guided tour takes your Pantheon visit to the next level, revealing its secrets—from the perfect dome to the royal tombs. Small-group tours (up to 15 guests) make the experience more intimate as compared to a regular group (up to 25-30 guests). Prefer to explore solo? An audio guide, available in eight languages, lets you discover the site at your own pace.
  • European citizens aged 18-25 can enjoy discounted tickets. Entry is free for residents of Rome and under-18s, but a ticket is still required.
  • There's much to see in the Eternal City, so book a Hop-On-Hop-Off tour that grants you priority access to the Rome Pantheon, along with stops at popular attractions like the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Vatican and more.

How to get to Rome Pantheon
Rome Pantheon

The Rome Pantheon has one main entrance, a large portico with Corinthian columns. This is consistent with the design of many Roman temples, which typically have a single entrance at the front. Upon arrival, you will come across three separate lines:

  • Queue 1 (left queue): For those looking to purchase tickets using cash payments.
  • Queue 2 (middle queue): For those with pre-reserved tickets.
  • Queue 3 (right queue): For those who prefer purchasing tickets with card payments.

Keep in mind that the middle line moves swiftly. We highly recommend purchasing your tickets online in advance to expedite your visit. Be sure to select the correct queue to avoid any unnecessary delays.

Pantheon Tickets Rules
  • Since the Rome Pantheon is a church, the dress code mandates modest clothing that covers one's knees and shoulders.
  • While photography is permitted, the usage of flash and tripods are not.
  • Smoking inside the church premises is prohibited.
  • No pets, except for service animals, are allowed inside the Pantheon at Rome.

Timing

  • Be prepared for security checks, so pack light and don't bring along any valuables.
  • Try the whisper test: Stand under the oculus and experience the incredible acoustics. Even a soft whisper fills the entire space.
  • If you're in Rome in the months of April and May, try to catch the petal shower on the day of the Pentecost, which happens about 50 days after Easter.
  • Snap a picture of the Fontana del Pantheon that's located before the monument; the fountain foregrounds the Pantheon beautifully.
  • After your visit, take some time out to explore the cafes and shops at Piazza della Rotonda.
