The official ticket
Since 1 July 2026 the full-price ticket costs €7. The reduced rate is €2 for ages 18 to 25; entry is free for under-18s, residents of the municipality of Rome, for everyone on the first Sunday of the month and during Mass. You buy it on the Musei Italiani portal (website and app) or on site. The monument is open every day from 9 am to 7 pm, last entry 6:30 pm. There is no skip-the-line ticket: resellers do not get you past the security queue. Full details in our page on the Pantheon in Rome.
Small-group guided tour with entry ticket (Kirba Tours)
4.9 out of 5 from 1,318 reviews, with a price read at around $28 per person (another capture of the listing showed about $27, so amounts vary) and free cancellation. Travelers praise passionate guides and quick entry. It lasts about an hour and covers the history of Hadrian's temple, the dome and the tombs. It is the one to pick if you want more than a quick look. The official site stays cheaper for entry alone: here you are paying for the guide. See the offer.
Entry with interactive app
A timed entry with an app on your phone, with no live guide. We could not read the rating or the price on the listing: check them before booking. Bring earphones. See the offer.
Walking tours of the center that include the Pantheon
The Pantheon is also part of walks through the center, such as the Sunset Tour (4.9 out of 5 from 758 reviews); one traveler notes that entry into the monument is not always clear: read the listing. See Rome at night: which tour to book.
Pitfalls and tips
- Masses. Saturday at 5 pm, Sunday and public holidays at 10:30 am: access is reserved for worshippers and ticket sales stop an hour before.
- First Sunday of the month. Free entry, tickets collected on site: a longer wait.
- Timing. Come at opening, at 9 am, or late in the afternoon.
- Dress. It is a working church: shoulders and knees covered, see dress code in churches.
- Touts. On Piazza della Rotonda, buy only at the official desk or from a known platform.
Which option to choose?
- Tight budget or self-guided: the official €7 ticket.
- First visit and wanting to understand: the small-group guided tour.
- Commented self-guided visit: entry with the app, after reading the listing.
- First Sunday of the month: free entry, if you accept the queue.
