Pantheon Ticket Prices: Full Price, Concessions & Free Entry

Since paid entry was introduced in July 2023, the Pantheon has operated a clear, tiered pricing structure administered through Italy’s official Musei Italiani portal. Prices are set by the Ministry of Culture and remain among the most affordable for any major monument in Rome. Understanding the different categories — and the conditions attached to free entry — will help you plan and budget accurately before your visit.

Pantheon Entry Prices at a Glance

All free-entry visitors — including children and Rome residents — must still book a timed entry slot in advance. On free Sundays, no online booking is available; free tickets are distributed at the entrance on a first-come, first-served basis.

Full-Price Adult Tickets (€5)

The standard Pantheon admission ticket is €5 and applies to all visitors aged 26 and over who do not qualify for a concession. This is one of the most affordable entry prices of any major ancient monument in Rome — significantly less than the Colosseum, the Vatican Museums, or Castel Sant’Angelo. The ticket grants access to the full Pantheon interior: the rotunda, the unreinforced concrete dome, the oculus, the ancient marble floor, and the tombs of Raphael and the Italian royal family.

Tickets are timed and nominal — issued in your name and verified against your identity document at the entrance. For details on how to purchase and what to expect on arrival, see our full Pantheon Tickets guide.

Reduced-Price Tickets for EU Citizens (€3)

EU citizens aged between 18 and 25 inclusive are entitled to a reduced admission rate of €3. This concession applies to nationals of all European Union member states. A valid identity document confirming both nationality and age must be presented at the entrance. Non-EU visitors in the same age group pay the standard adult rate of €5.

Free Entry: Who Qualifies?

Several visitor categories enter the Pantheon free of charge. In all cases, a timed slot must still be reserved in advance:

Children under 18: All visitors under 18 enter free regardless of nationality. A timed reservation is still required. For school groups or parties of more than nine people, standard online booking does not apply — groups must contact the Pantheon directly for special arrangements. See our Visiting the Pantheon with Kids & School Groups guide for full details.

Rome residents: Residents of the Municipality of Rome enter free upon presenting a valid document confirming their Rome address — such as a municipally-issued identity card. The exemption cannot be claimed retrospectively and must be verified at the entrance.

Decree 507/1997 entitlements: A wider range of exemptions is defined under Italian Ministerial Decree 507/1997, covering categories including EU public school teachers, EU citizens under 18 on organised educational visits, and other designated groups. If you believe you may qualify, check the current list on the official Musei Italiani portal and prepare the appropriate documentation before visiting.

Free Entry on the First Sunday of the Month

On the first Sunday of each month, admission to the Pantheon is free for all visitors without exception. This is part of Italy’s national Domenica al Museo initiative, which extends free entry across many state-managed cultural sites. No online booking is available on these days — all visitors must queue at the entrance to collect a free, non-nominal ticket on arrival.

These Sundays attract significantly larger crowds than usual, and entry is not guaranteed. Queues can actually be longer on free Sundays than on a standard paid-entry day. For a quieter, more controlled experience, paying the €5 standard rate on a weekday morning typically represents better value.

Does the Roma Pass Include the Pantheon?

The Pantheon is not covered by the Roma Pass or the Omnia Card — two of the most widely purchased multi-attraction passes in Rome. This is a common source of confusion for first-time visitors. If you are planning to use either pass during your trip, a separate Pantheon ticket is still required. Always verify the current list of included sites before purchasing any city pass, as offerings can change between seasons.

Authorised Booking Platforms vs the Official Portal

Tickets purchased through authorised booking platforms typically cost slightly more than the €5 base rate on the official Musei Italiani portal. The premium generally covers additional services not included in the standard ticket — priority entry processing, an official audio guide, or a digital guide app. For visitors who want the lowest possible price and are comfortable navigating the official portal, direct booking is the cheapest option. For visitors who value convenience or a richer experience, authorised platform tickets represent strong value.

What Is Included in the Ticket Price?

All Pantheon tickets — at whichever price tier — grant access to the monument’s full main interior. This includes the rotunda, the coffered concrete dome, the oculus, the ancient marble floor, the decorative niches and altars, and the tombs of notable historical figures including Raphael, Victor Emmanuel II, and Umberto I.

Audio commentary, guided tours, and app-based experiences are not included in the base ticket and must be purchased separately or as part of an upgraded option. To understand everything you will see inside, read our Inside the Pantheon: A Room-by-Room Guide.
