Central America's cosmopolitan heart
An enticing blend of history, culture and cosmopolitan living, Panama City is an excellent introduction to the country and a gateway to some outstanding experiences. Its skyline dominated by gleaming skyscrapers that snake along the coastline, it’s a city that also boasts a wealth of lush green spaces and wildlife not too far from busy plazas, restored colonial buildings and a thriving nightlife. Go exploring and you’ll stumble upon markets swirling with the aromas of Spanish and Afro-Caribbean-inspired cuisine.
Make time to appreciate the dilapidated charm and new buzz of the UNESCO-awarded Casco Viejo (historic quarter). Head to the Panama Canal to watch the ships pass the Miraflores Locks, or visit The Biomuseo, designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry. As the sun sets, enjoy a delicious meal at one of the city’s finest restaurants, before dancing the night away in a salsa club.
