Is Pantheon worth it on a budget?

Worth itOn a budget

On a budget, Pantheon still earns its price.

€5 (free under 18)

Probably the single most jaw-dropping ten minutes in Rome: a 2,000-year-old concrete dome with a hole open to the sky, still standing intact. It's small, fast, and now ticketed, so it can feel like a quick in-and-out — but standing under the oculus is unforgettable.
