This is a lovely building with a large dome and a very large hole in the centre that lets in the light (and the rain!). Well worth a visit and no entrance fee but quite popular so gets very busy. More

We loved the Pantheon. One minute you are on a normal Roman street and then you turn a corner and there it is, in all its grandure. So beautiful. So amazing that its still standing in tact after all these hundreds of years! A must see. Not to mention its free. Download Rick Steves free audio tour and its even... More

Walk around the room and revel in the ancient beauty of this building. Loved the sunlight pouring through the roof, and enjoyed hanging around the piazza del Rotunda - plenty of people watching and sunshine! More

one of the best thing in Rome. You must see it. The entrance is free... But, unfortunatly very loud, and there is so many tourists around and inside. It would be good to come in the morning. More

The story of the place and the ancient domed roof are fascinating. The crowds in July are very, very large making access a bit difficult. More

The Pantheon is probably the greatest free international tourist attraction in the world. It is an extraordinary building with an equally extraordinary history. If you visit Rome, you simply should not fail to see it. There are clearly many thousands of reviews of this particular attraction and it does not need any further elaboration in our review. It is an... More

We first went on May 1 (labor day) and it was closed. People were still lined up at the door to get a peak through the crack in the door. We went back a few days later and I thought it was rather amusing as that peak could never justify the place. It is at awe-inspiring. The massive dome, the... More
