About this activity

Panama City is not merely the capital of the nation; it stands as a sprawling and vibrant metropolis where modernity harmoniously intertwines with tradition. Its skyline is a breathtaking tapestry of sleek glass skyscrapers, charming colonial-era architecture, and verdant parks that invite relaxation. While the city's buildings reflect contemporary innovation, they also echo a rich historical narrative. Remarkably, Panama City encompasses two other cities, both recognized as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO, further enhancing its allure and cultural significance.

Itinerary

Poin Panama

Passing by

POIN PANAMA's innovative design and modern architecture make it a must-see destination for architecture enthusiasts and anyone interested in modern skyscraper design.
Panama La Vieja

Passing by

The Panama Viejo Archaeological Site corresponds to the site where the city of Panama was founded on August 15, 1519, and includes the ruins of the first European settlement on the Pacific coast of America, as well as the remains of the first inhabitants of the isthmus.

The ruins of Panama Viejo and especially the tower of its cathedral are one of the leading national symbols and one of the city's biggest tourist attractions.
Casco Viejo

Passing by

This Unesco-listed district is a symphony of restored rainbow-hued buildings, romantic wrought-iron balconies, centuries-old churches, sky-caressing rooftops, and narrow cobblestone streets, strung out along four historic avenues
Mercado Publico del Marisco

Passing by

Oysters and lobsters and fish…oh my! The fish market in Panama City, authentically known as Mercado de Mariscos, is on the water near the entrance to Casco Viejo. This is where restaurant owners and locals come for fresh seafood and is one of our favorite things to do in the city!
Stop 5

Passing by

F&F Tower, a screw-shaped building that went from being just another skyscraper to becoming part of the identity of an entire city.
Amador Causeway (Calzada de Amador)

15 min

As you glide onto Amador Causeway, it’s as if you’ve stepped into a postcard scene from Miami or the sun-kissed coasts of Southern California. The palm-fringed road meanders gracefully, flanked by the boundless expanse of the ocean, offering breathtaking vistas of the city skyline and the majestic entrance to the Panama Canal.
Avenida Balboa

Passing by

The avenue is a popular destination that charms both locals and tourists thanks to its picturesque and lively atmosphere. Located just off Balboa Avenue, you'll find the Cinta Costera, where runners, cyclists, and families enjoy together, whether riding the bike path, strolling, feeding the cats or raccoons, or simply enjoying a raspa'o. The palm-lined boardwalk offers an escape from the constant hustle and bustle of the city, allowing visitors to relax while enjoying the views of the ocean and the nearby Ocean Reef islands.
