For nearly 1,900 years, entering the Pantheon cost nothing. The turning point came on 3 July 2023, when the Ministry of Culture introduced a €5 entry ticket. The decision sparked controversy, but the numbers speak for themselves: in 2022, the Pantheon welcomed over 9 million visitors, with maintenance costs exceeding €2 million per year.
With paid entry, the monument now generates sufficient funds for its own conservation and for the restoration of other Italian cultural heritage sites. For the visitor, €5 remains a symbolic price — less than a coffee and a pastry at a local bar.
I always tell tourists who ask whether €5 is worth it: at the Colosseum you pay €16, at the Galleria Borghese €15, at the Vatican Museums €17. The Pantheon at five euros is the best cultural deal in Rome. And I'm not exaggerating — you are entering the best-preserved Roman monument on the planet, housing the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome ever built.

Online platforms often offer the standard ticket at the same price as the ticket office (€5), but with the advantage of being able to choose your time slot and skip the queue. Combo deals with other monuments are sometimes available.
Several operators offer combined tickets that include the Pantheon alongside other Roman sites (Colosseum, Roman Forum, Piazza Navona). The overall cost is often lower than buying the individual tickets separately. If you are planning multiple visits, check the available combo options.
During Mass services (generally on Sunday mornings and certain religious holidays), entry to the basilica is free for worshippers. However, during services the monument is not open for tourism — you are a guest of the church, not a tourist with a camera.
