Tourists arriving in Rome this summer will find that the Eternal City looks – and costs – slightly different from what they may remember. Meanwhile several ambitious long-term projects are also well underway, quietly reshaping how Rome will be experienced in summers still to come.
The most immediate change for visitors arriving after 1 July will be at the Pantheon, where the tourist entry fee rises from €5 to €7. The increase follows a new agreement between the Italian culture ministry and the diocese of Rome. Visitors aged 18 to 25 will continue to pay a discounted rate of €2, while Roman residents retain free admission on presentation of identification. All other existing exemptions – for visitors with disabilities, and for under-18s – remain unchanged.
