Pantheon is one of the most important locations to visit in Rome. It is beautiful at night but be aware of the working hours.
Beside the wonder of making such a big dome from one piece there are a lot inside. One of the most interesting facts is that you will be able to see Rafael's tomb.
Since recently the entrance is not free anymore.

I won’t have the words to express how enjoyable my quick visit to the Pantheon was. Went at night to avoid crowds. That limited me to the outside views, which don’t feel so limited. The structure itself is stunning and its preservation is unbelievable. Spent an hour and a half having dessert with friends on the patio of one of the adjacent restaurants. Enjoying great company with that view is alright in my book! Go visit!

During my recent visit to the Pantheon in Italy, I found the historical significance and architectural marvel of the building impressive. The well-preserved structure and the oculus at the dome added a unique touch to the experience. However, the crowds can be overwhelming, impacting the overall enjoyment. It's advisable to visit during off-peak hours for a more tranquil experience.

Beautiful and impressive! The self tour audio phones were nice to have if you want more details of history and information about the pantheon. We went on a Sunday morning at opening but it wasn’t busy only a few people inside. Didn’t have to wait long in line to buy the tickets, it was surprisingly quick, but it did start to get more crowded as the hour went by. Recommend being there within the hour it opens to have more space to enjoy it.

Incredible Roman architecture that you have to see to really get a sense of scale. The colors of the marble everywhere were magnificent, the sculptures are beautiful, and the little audio kiosks were nice. Those were two euros for up to 4 headsets, with 2 provided and 2 headphones jacks available. We went during the off season, so the wait in line was not long. We had considered getting the Roma pass for a few days, but walking to it, waiting, and walking away, was all fine with us.

Amazing place to visit, truly an architectural wonder. We visited on the first Sunday in December so admission was free. We went early so the crowds were not bad. We ended up staying for mass which was incredible. It was very moving. If you can only visit a couple of places in Rome this has to be on your list.

Wir fahren heute da drinne fanden das sehr schön.
Am Samstag ist eine Messe und da wollen wir unbedingt hingehen. Das hat sich meine Tochter gewünscht.

Ich muss sagen, es war sehr schön, obwohl es voll war. Sehr ruhig sehr entspannend. Die Atmosphäre war ganz toll. Muss man gesehen haben.

Es lohnt sich.

Top Sehenswürdigkeiten. Für Erwachsene müssen Tickets gekauft werden für 5 Euro. Am besten online buchen. Dann kann man direkt rein gehen und muss nicht an der Kasse stehen. Schlange an der Kasse ist echt lang. Falls man online Tickets hat dann am mittleren Eingang durchgehen.

Incredible building. The space has to be experienced. Like other Roman structures in the city it has been preserved by virtue of becoming a church. There are snippets of the Roman construction in amongst the ecclesiastical opulence and not much information about the pagan heritage of the building is freely available. We did not get audio guides however.

The website did not work and getting advance tickets at the admission price of 5.5 euros was impossible. We paid double but had to pick up tickets from the piazza Navona or wait in a long queue in the sun.

This was also a brilliant sight. There was a long long queue for entry and somehow it seems that the queue for the on-spot ticket moved rather faster than the queue for the online ticket.However once inside it was a sight to behold. You would be seeing the ‘gods rays’ and it would be a sight to behold

So much history. Worth the wait. Check out the drain holes near the center, the building never flooded even in heavy rain. Absolute marvel. Get there early

Stella Wright 2023 Aug 15

Beautiful. Very busy but well controlled queues even though long. TOP TIP: buy tickets in advance and to do this subscribe to Pantheon official website and buy tickets directly from them. It's so much cheaper and you can pick your own time slot. My husband and I arrived at the Pantheon then walked the short distance to Piazza Navona Square and sat in one of the many cafes and then purchased our tickets. We enjoyed the whole atmosphere and even got to hear the bells Chime at 12 noon. We then made our way to the Pantheon for our 1-130pm time slot, walking straight in !!! Its beautiful and very calm inside where you can take in the breathtaking paintings and statues and sheer size of it. Amazing place.

Natalie Arnold 2023 Aug 14

Well, it's 5€ each to get in, so we went in as we thought it was cheap. It's an impressive building and nice to look at, but unless you're really interested in the history, then there isn't much to do. We spent about 5/10 minutes in there.

Rafael Gonzalez-Arnau 2023 Aug 12

Another great example of Roman architecture. Simply impressive.
Watch out for pickpockets! Particularly young girls wearing bags or backpacks in front to hide things fast.

Visited in January this year but went during the evening and there was a service going on inside so couldn't get in.

Visited again in April during the morning and got entry. As of 03/07/23 there is a €5 euro entry fee. You get given a handheld device for the audio guided tour and there are 16 points. You can explore each part in order.
