Panama City
Discover the vibrant contrasts of Panama City, a cosmopolitan capital where history and innovation meet against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean.
Begin your journey in Casco Viejo, the city's old quarter, where cobblestone streets and colonial architecture transport you to Panama’s past. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a bustling blend of art galleries, rooftop bars, and historic plazas, making it the perfect spot for both daytime exploration and lively nights.
Nearby, the ruins of Panama La Vieja reveal the city’s earliest history, with stone relics and watchtowers that stand as reminders of its founding in 1519. This ancient site offers panoramic views and an immersive glimpse into Panama’s storied past.
In sharp contrast, Panama’s modern skyline rises just beyond these historic sites. Gleaming skyscrapers, luxury hotels, and high-end shopping define this dynamic side of the city, a symbol of its place as a gateway to the Americas.
No visit would be complete without experiencing the Panama Canal, a marvel of engineering that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. From the Miraflores Locks, watch massive ships pass through this iconic waterway, marveling at the ingenuity and global significance of Panama’s most famous landmark.
