Parthenon
 
I'll be in Rome for a long weekend and I would like to know how much the Parthenon costs and if there are long lines to wait in.

Pantheon.

Pantheon is free. Simply walk on in. The Pantheon, one of the best preserved buildings from the ancient world and directly across from it is a McDonald's. (Valuable info if you want a quick soda or need to use the bathroom). Also, there's a very good gelateria close by --- I think it's on street to the left (stand w/back to Pantheon & facing McDonald's).<BR>

The Pantheon as a-z said is free. It's quite a feat of architecure and the oculi was amazing (IMO). There is arguably one of the best coffee houses in Rome in the same piazza, I believe it was called cafe du sol? If you are walking out of the Pantheon it is at about 1:00 (to your right).<BR><BR>Also the oblisk in the piazza is quite beautiful as it is an elephant. Many people will be hanging out around the oblisk.<BR><BR>

The Parthenon is in Greece. Athens to be specific.

If you're serious the Parthenon is in Athens on the Acropolis. If you're just messing around--find something better to do, or the Gods will be angry!
