Panama City, Panama Travel Guide
Panama City, Panama is often called the Dubai of Central America. Banking along with the Panama Canal has spawned a high-rise metropolis nestled along the Pacific Ocean. Panama City is central American hub, which is fitting since it was the first European settlement along the Pacific Ocean. The ruins of the first European settlement at Panama Viejo date to 1519 and are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The revitalized historic quarter of Casco Viejo brims with hip rooftop bars, trendy restaurants and quaint cafes. Hotels line the Panama Canal, and you can watch ships sail through the canal from your hotel room or viewpoints around the city. Panama is also a fantastic destination to view native wildlife like sloths and toucans, even within the city. Here are tips for visiting Panama City!
