Additional Notes for Your Visit to the Pantheon

The Pantheon is one of the top attractions in Rome. If you show up without an online ticket, it’s very likely you’ll spend some time waiting in line. Experience shows that the wait typically lasts between 15 and 30 minutes, but you could be unlucky and wait longer. If the Pantheon is high on your sightseeing wish list, it’s a good idea to arrive in the morning just before it opens to the public.

Previously, visiting the Pantheon was free. Paid entry was introduced on July 3, 2023. While it was nice to quickly pop into this ancient temple during a stroll through Rome’s historic center, the new ticketing system limits the number of visitors allowed inside at once. This makes the experience calmer and more enjoyable when exploring this amazing site.


Dress Code for Church Visits

Wear modest clothing. At a minimum, shorts, dresses, and skirts should reach just above the knees, and shoulders and midriffs should be covered.
