The first two hours after opening (9:00–11:00) are the calmest: smaller crowds and the oculus beam slanting down the walls. Around midday on sunny days the disc of light reaches the floor. Avoid late morning and weekends, when the square is busiest.
The Pantheon stands on Piazza della Rotonda, in the heart of the historic centre, a few minutes' walk from Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain. It has no metro station of its own: the useful stops are Barberini and Spagna (line A), about 15 minutes away on foot. Many buses stop at Largo di Torre Argentina, 5 minutes away.
The basic ticket is cheap, but there are legitimate ways to spend even less or get more:

The interior takes 30-45 minutes. With an audio guide or a guided tour, allow about an hour. The square and surroundings deserve extra time.
