Pantheon Rome Tickets: The Ticket Office Shuts an Hour Early

The Pantheon closes at 7pm. The ticket office closes at 6pm, and the last entry is 6.30pm. Turn up at quarter past six without a ticket and you are looking at it from the outside.

The price went up this summer

Full admission rose from €5 to €7 on 1 July 2026. Plenty of guides still say €5. The reduced and free categories were deliberately left alone:

  • Full €7.00
  • EU citizens aged 18–25: €2.00
  • Under-18s: free
  • Residents of the Comune di Roma: free
  • First Sunday of every month: free for everyone

Mass is still free, and still Mass

Worshippers enter free for Saturday 5pm and Sunday 10.30am services. This is a genuine religious service in a working basilica, not a way round the ticket desk — go if you mean to attend.

Booking

Entry is by assigned time slot, bought through the Ministry’s Musei Italiani platform or on site. Same-day purchase is possible, so booking ahead is strongly advisable rather than the only route.

The Ministry notes there is no skip-the-line option — the Pantheon does not sell a queue-jump, so anyone offering one is selling you something else.

Open daily 9am to 7pm, with extra evening opening 7pm to 11pm in August, last entry 10.30pm. Closed 25 December and 1 January.
