The best time to visit Pantheon Paris

The best time to visit the Pantheon Paris is early morning or late afternoon to avoid the crowds. 

We recommend visiting the Pantheon on weekdays rather than weekends when it gets crowded. 

Also, November to March is the best time to visit the Pantheon with fewer crowds. 

However,  if you are visiting Paris during the peak summer months, the Pantheon can get busy.

It takes 1.5 to 2 hours to explore the Pantheon in Paris. 

This includes time to explore the main hall, crypt, and dome.

When touring the Pantheon, we suggest you explore the main hall. 

This is the building’s largest and most impressive space, with a soaring dome 35 meters (116 feet) high.

Next, visit the crypt. This is where you can see the tombs of some of France’s most famous historical figures, including Voltaire, Victor Hugo, and Marie Curie.

Finally, take the stairs or elevator to the top of the dome. 

From here, you’ll have stunning views of Paris.

If you’re short on time, you can still get a good overview of the Pantheon by spending around 30 minutes on a self-guided tour.

Visitors who wish to learn more about the Pantheon can join the guided tour in the afternoon, which takes 1.5 hours.
