Where to Book Pantheon Official Tickets
For standard admission, official tickets are sold online through the Musei Italiani website and app. You can also buy an entrance ticket in person at the Pantheon ticket office or from the automatic vending machines on site.
The full adult price is now €7. The reduced ticket costs €2 for eligible EU citizens from age 18 through the day of their 25th birthday.
Free admission applies to under-18s, residents of the Municipality of Rome, licensed tour guides and other categories covered by Ministry of Culture concessions. Entry is also free for everyone on the first Sunday of every month.
Tickets purchased online are tied to a date and time slot. On-site purchases can be made at the official ticket office using cash or card, or through the automatic vending machines.
The Pantheon releases its visiting calendar monthly, with tickets normally going on sale around the middle of the previous month. If you have a specific date in mind, that is the useful booking window to watch.
Booking online means you do not need to purchase your standard ticket at the ticket office, but it does not create a skip-the-line entitlement. The official visitor rules specifically state that no skip-the-line option is available.
The Pantheon is also the Basilica of Santa Maria ad Martyres, so religious services take priority over tourist visits. Mass is normally celebrated at 17:00 on Saturdays and vigil days and at 10:30 on Sundays and holidays. During religious services, tourist access is suspended and entrance is reserved for worshippers, who do not need a tourist admission ticket.
Ticket sales stop one hour before liturgical activities, so always check the current schedule if your visit falls close to a service.
Pantheon Opening Hours and Ticket Office Hours
The regular opening hours are 9:00 to 19:00 every day.
The official ticket office closes at 18:00. The last admission for individual visitors is at 18:30, while the last admission for groups and schools is at 18:00.
The Pantheon normally closes on January 1 and December 25, although special Ministry of Culture openings can occasionally change the calendar.
Religious celebrations can also affect visiting hours.
Special August 2026 Evening Opening
For August 2026 only, the Pantheon is also opening from 19:00 to 23:00 on every day except Thursday.
For these evening visits, the on-site ticket office remains open until 22:00, while the last admission and online ticket sales are at 22:30.
The first Sunday of the month remains free during the evening opening as well.
Pantheon Ticket Name and ID Rules
Tickets purchased online through Musei Italiani are nominative. From March 10, 2026, one name change is permitted through your personal Musei Italiani account, but it must be completed at least 72 hours before the date and time of the visit. Under the new rules, an online ticket name can be changed:
Only once per ticket. Only through your personal account on the official booking system. Only up to 72 hours before the scheduled visit time. After that 72-hour window, the name on the ticket is locked.
At the entrance, you must present the original ticket issued through Musei Italiani together with an identity document or a copy of it. If the ticket details do not match the identification document, entry can be refused and no refund is provided.
Use each visitor’s correct name when booking and check the details immediately after purchase. If you need to correct a name, make the change through your Musei Italiani account well before the 72-hour deadline.
Current Pantheon Ticket Prices in 2026
The current standard admission price is:
- €7 full price
- €2 reduced price for eligible EU citizens aged 18–25
- Free for under-18s
- Free for residents of the Municipality of Rome
- Free on the first Sunday of every month
- Free for licensed tour guides and other eligible Ministry of Culture categories
The full price increased from €5 to €7 on July 1, 2026. The old €5 price is no longer the current Pantheon admission price.
The Pantheon is not included in the Roma Pass or Omnia Card.
Common Pantheon Ticket Booking Mistakes
The most common Pantheon ticket problem is the name mismatch. A traveler books under a casual name (nickname, spouse’s name, abbreviated first name) and arrives with an ID that does not match. Entry is denied. No refund. If you book for yourself, use your exact ID name. If you book for a group, enter each person’s exact ID name.
For a standard entrance ticket, use Musei Italiani or purchase directly on site. The official Pantheon administration warns that tickets purchased from unauthorized resellers may not be accepted.
There is one useful distinction: the Basilica itself also offers official audio-guide and guided-tour experiences through PantheonRoma.com with admission included. That is different from buying a standard admission-only ticket from an unrelated reseller.
Online bookings require you to select a time slot, and the official visitor information asks visitors to be punctual. Do not assume that a ticket for one time can automatically be used during a later slot.
For travelers planning a full Rome itinerary, the Pantheon is usually a 45-minute to one-hour visit. Factor it into a walking route connecting Piazza Navona, Campo de’ Fiori, and the Trevi Fountain area rather than treating it as a standalone destination requiring separate logistics.
Free Pantheon Entry on the First Sunday
The Pantheon is free for everyone on the first Sunday of every month.
You cannot reserve a free-Sunday ticket online. Individuals and groups join the queue at the Pantheon and collect a free, non-nominal ticket at the entrance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a skip-the-line ticket for the Pantheon?
No. The official Pantheon visitor information explicitly states that there is no skip-the-line admission option. Booking online reserves your visit time and avoids needing to purchase a standard ticket at the ticket office, but it does not guarantee that you will bypass the entrance queue.
Can I take photos inside?
Yes. Visitors may use mobile phones to take photos and videos. Professional photography or filming requires authorization from the museum administration.
Are audio guides included?
The standard €7 admission ticket is for entry. The Chapter of Santa Maria ad Martyres also offers an official audio-guide experience and guided visits with the Pantheon entrance ticket included.
Can I buy Pantheon tickets at the door?
Yes. You can buy tickets at the Pantheon from the official ticket office using cash or card, or from the automatic vending machines. Availability is tied to the visiting slots available that day, so advance booking is useful when your schedule is fixed.
What is the official website for Pantheon tickets?
For standard admission, the official booking platform is Musei Italiani, which is linked directly from the Ministry of Culture’s Pantheon page.
The Basilica’s own PantheonRoma.com website also offers official audio-guide and guided-tour experiences with the entrance ticket included.
How much are Pantheon Rome official tickets in 2026?
The standard adult ticket costs €7. The reduced ticket is €2 for eligible EU citizens aged 18 to 25. Under-18s, residents of the Municipality of Rome and several other eligible categories enter free. Admission is also free for everyone on the first Sunday of each month.
When do Pantheon tickets go on sale?
The visiting calendar is organized monthly. Tickets are normally released around the middle of the previous month, so that is the best time to check Musei Italiani if your preferred date is not yet available.
Is the Pantheon included in the Roma Pass?
No. The official Pantheon information states that admission is not included in either the Roma Pass or the Omnia Card.
For the simplest visit, buy your standard ticket through Musei Italiani, use the correct visitor name, choose your time slot carefully and arrive on time. The current adult price is €7, there is no official skip-the-line option, and the first Sunday of every month is free.
