About Panama City

By most measures, Panamá City is a modern metropolis of soaring glass and steel skyscrapers. A city with firm roots in international banking and trade, it stands on the threshold of two hemispheres. Upon closer inspection, though, leisure travelers find that Panamá City offers much more. Important sights include the famed Panama Canal, an engineering marvel that links the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and Casco Antiguo, the city's colonial section, noteworthy for its centuries-old, Spanish-influenced architecture. Nearby is Panamá Viejo, the colonial city founded by Spanish conquistador Pedrarías Dávila in 1519 that's now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Other areas of interest include the bustling shopping districts of Via España and Av Central, where bazaars and markets carry local products like wood carvings, woven items, ceramics, and tribal masks. Of course, no visit to Panamá City would be complete without time spent on its exquisite Pacific beaches - little more than an hour's drive from the capital city, their warm temperatures make them a perennially hot destination. Folks lucky enough to be in Panamá City during Carnivale often find themselves overwhelmed at first, but the spirit of celebration quickly rids most inhibitions. Vibrant yet sophisticated, colonial yet modern, mysterious yet welcoming - Panamá City defies comparison.

Did you know?

Each year, more than 13,000 ocean-going vessels make the 50-mile trip through the Panamá Canal, from the Caribbean town of Colón to Bilbao and the warm waters of the Pacific. The Canal, begun by the French in the 1870s, was completed by the US in 1914 at a cost of some $375 million dollars and nearly 6000 lives (the French phase of construction resulted in an estimated 25,000 deaths, mostly due to malaria). Visitors to Panamá City who want a good look at the Canal can do so at the Miraflores Locks, located northwest of the city center.
