Should I visit the Rome Pantheon on a public holiday?

Can I attend mass at the Rome Pantheon?

Yes, the public can attend the Mass that's conducted inside the Pantheon. On Saturdays and pre-holidays, mass timings are 5pm, and on Sundays at 10:30am. Note that the hour before Mass is usually spent in preparation for liturgical activity, so it's advisable to not pay a tourist visit during those times as it can get busy. Reserve the hour before Mass to enter the Pantheon and take your place before the ceremony begins.

What if I'm late for my appointed slot to visit the Rome Pantheon?

In this scenario, we regret to inform you that you will have to purchase new tickets. To make sure you're on time for your experience, try to arrive at least 30 minutes in advance of the scheduled time. This gives you plenty of time to move past the ticketing queues and begin your tour promptly.
