How to get to the Pantheon
The Pantheon sits in the heart of Rome’s historic center, easy to reach on foot, by bus or by metro. The main entrance faces Piazza della Rotonda.
By Train
Metro A to Barberini or Spagna, then a 10–15 minute walk via Via del Corso or nearby streets. Buses 40, 64, 87 and others stop nearby at Largo Argentina or Corso Vittorio.
By Car
The center is a limited traffic zone; public parking is scarce and pricey. It's best to park outside the ZTL and walk or take transit.
By Bus
Many routes serve the area; check ATAC for live schedules and stops near Largo di Torre Argentina or Piazza Venezia.
On Foot
From Piazza Navona, it's a 5‑minute stroll; from the Trevi Fountain, about 10 minutes through charming alleys.
