Rome Pantheon Tickets And Tours

• The Dome: the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome. Gaze up at the structure that inspired the Duomo in Florence, St Peter’s Basilica and the United States Capitol building. 

• The Oculus: look up at the 9-meter hole in the dome, its only source of light.

• Porch: stand among the 16 Corinthian columns and admire the bronze doors (originally gold) which weigh 20 tons each.

• The Interior: the supreme architectural achievement you will see when you visit Pantheon Rome, is the perfect harmony & proportion. Appreciate the understated beauty of the circular interior, designed to represent the planet earth. 

• Raphael’s Tomb: visit the resting place of the Renaissance genius Raphael (between the 2nd and 3rd openings on the left). On a Pantheon tour Rome offers you plenty to explore!

• Interactive 3D Maps: find the top artworks hidden in the Pantheon to ensure you don’t miss a thing. Part of the self-audio-guided Pantheon Rome Tour. 

• Madonna and Child: this icon was recovered from underneath layers of paint. One of the rarest surviving paintings of this period. 

One of the most inspirational buildings of Western architecture, the Pantheon is also extremely photogenic! Don’t miss these golden opportunities for photos to cherish forever: 

• Pantheon Ceiling: if you only take one photo of the Pantheon Rome inside, point your camera upwards! Tip: position the oculus hole in the ceiling off-center for an arty shot.

• Portico: the classic image of this historic site. Zoom in and capture the inscription above the porch: “M·AGRIPPA·L·F·COS·TERTIUM·FECIT" (Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, consul for the third time, built this.). 

• Moonlit Pantheon: the floodlit Roman temple against a starry sky is truly celestial.

• Avoid the crowds: head to the monument early in the morning (opening time from 8.30 am) or just before it shuts at 7.30 pm (6 pm on Sundays). 

• Be respectful: the Pantheon was a pagan temple, and since being partially destroyed and reconstructed after the fire in 80 AD it became a church. Dress appropriately (no bare shoulders, shorts or miniskirts) and respect the signs for “Silence”. 

• Choose to be informed: there may be no need to budget for Pantheon pricing as general admission is free! Nevertheless, to appreciate this ancient wonder it is well worth to book a Pantheon audio guide on arrival or book Rome Pantheon tickets as part of a guided tour.

• Take your time: Some people spend hours in the Pantheon, others rush through in five minutes. Give yourself at least 20 minutes to fully appreciate the architecture and artwork inside.
