New fares are coming for those wishing to visit the Pantheon. The main novelty of the latest agreement signed by the Ministry of Culture and the Diocese of Rome concerns the increase in the price of the ticket for tourists from 5 to 7 euro. After the decision to establish a EUR 2 ticket to admire the Trevi Fountain up close, which in just one week yielded EUR 85,000, now it is the turn of the Roman temple.

The Mic's announcement, this is what the convention provides for

Signed by the MiC in the presence of Minister Alessandro Giuli together with the Vicar General for the Diocese of Rome Cardinal Baldassare Reina, the Convention puts its hands on the regulations for the use of the Basilica of Santa Maria ad Martyres, known to all as the Pantheon.

The EUR 2 increase for admission to the monument is part of the actions planned within the Olivetti Plan for Culture, with the aim of supporting proximity libraries in areas in difficulty.

This support was already realised by the Culture Decree, which contributed to the relaunch of the Italian publishing industry in the first months of 2026, generating an increase in value of EUR 11.3 million and 569,000 copies compared to the same period last year.

The ticket price remodelling concerns one of the most representative and visited monuments of the national heritage, with around 4.5 million visitors in 2025.

When will the tariff change

For those who have booked their next summer holidays in the Eternal City, the change in the rate for visiting the Pantheon will come into effect on 1 July. According to the agreement, the aim is to enhance the monument while respecting its dual nature as a place of culture and worship.

Here's who won't have to shell out an extra two euros

The increase on the ticket price concerns a certain audience. Only tourists visiting the capital will have to pay 2 euro more to see the charms of the Roman temple. Saved from the ticket increase are Rome residents. The 2 euro rate for young people between 18 and 25 years of age remains unchanged, along with all the free tickets currently provided.
