Panama City

Mountains

Skyscrapers, a colonial old town and 500 years of history facing the Pacific.

Panama City is the beating heart of the country: the ruins of Panamá Viejo, the colorful streets of Casco Viejo, the modern skyline of Punta Paitilla and the Amador Causeway at the entrance of the Canal. Everything is close, and everything tells a story.
