Address: Piazza della Rotonda, 00186 Roma RM, Italy.
The Rome Pantheon is a mammoth relic of ancient Rome, once a temple that's now a church. Besides its iconic dome, what draws visitors from world over are its marble interiors, ornate altars and tombs of famous figures including the artist Raphael.
There is only one main entry to the Rome Pantheon. However, there are 3 separate tourist queues, with each line denoting a particular ticket type.
On the extreme left is the queue for those tourists who are looking to pay for their tickets in cash. These are one of the longer queues since people are buying on-spot, and during peak season (June to September), lines can get incredibly long, with wait times going up to even an hour.
Touted as the best queue (and for good reason), this line is meant for those visitors who have their tickets in advance. They simply have to show their tickets and voila! entry is guaranteed in just a few minutes, peak season or not. If you've booked online, simply scan your QR code at the desk. Say goodbye to standing in endless lines under the hot Roman sun with your pre-booked tickets.
Note: Pre-booked ticket holders must collect their tickets at the bookshop to the right of the portico of the Basilica of San Lorenzo di Lucina, if they choose to display paper tickets. This basilica is only an 8-minute walk from the Pantheon.
This queue is exclusively meant for those choosing to purchase on-spot tickets and pay by card. Similar to the cash-only queue, this line can also get really long during peak season. However, the card queue often moves faster than the cash queue, though nothing tops the pre-booked queue. So choose your queue wisely!
The Rome Pantheon has only one main entrance via Piazza della Rotonda, 00186 Roma RM, Italy. It is easily identified by its stately Corinthian columns and the Fountain of the Pantheon before it.
There are 3 separate queues to access the Rome Pantheon: The left-most queue is for cash-only payments (and often the longest queue), the middle queue is reserved for those with pre-booked tickets, and the right-most queue is for those tourists who choose to purchase on-spot tickets by card.
If you're looking to save time and make the most of your visit, we highly recommend pre-booking your Rome Pantheon tickets to whizz through the middle queue and begin your tour. You can save yourself the hassle of waiting in long, tiring queues and also buy yourself time to visit nearby attractions like the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, etc.
That depends on your payment mode. If you're opting to pay by cash, your queue will be the first queue on the left. If you are paying by card, then you can stand in the right queue.
If you've booked Rome Pantheon skip-the-line tickets, then stand in the middle queue. Scan your mobile ticket at the entry desk. Alternatively, display the tickets you picked up at the bookshop to the right of the portico of the Basilica of San Lorenzo di Lucina.
We strongly recommend booking tickets in advance so that you can save yourself the long hour(s) spent in standing at the cash and card queues. The pre-booked line is fast-moving and you can enter the attraction in less than 15 minutes if you arrive shortly before your appointed time.
