Review of Panama City
Panama City
Flights to Panama City take you to one of Central America's most cosmopolitan cities. The Amador Causeway is home to family-friendly fun and games while many of the city's top restaurants, shops and nightspots are right in the city centre.
Things to do
Shopping
Casco Viejo is one of the best spots for souvenir shopping before return flights from Panama City, while El Cangrejo and El Area Bancaria offer boutiques and proximity to large shopping centres such as Mall Multiplaza Pacific.
Restaurants
A holiday in Panama City offers everything from sushi and Arabic dishes in the city centre to typical Panamanian food at every corner. The Amador Causeway is good for international cuisine, as is the Casco Viejo neighbourhood.
Nightlife
Vibrant Calle Uruguay offers everything from small bars to live music. The Amador Causeway has small dance clubs and popular weekend hangouts. For more laid-back evenings on holidays in Panama City, head to places like Bar Platea in Casco Viejo.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Panama City. Try to schedule your Panama City trip during the dry season (December-April), or a Panama City holiday, such as Carnival or Independence Day.

Plan your holidays with sufficient time to stroll around all beautifull places. San Blas, Casca Viejo, Portobelo (with the Black Christ), Boca del Toro and the only vulcano of this Central American Country. Visit the Panama Canal, see Balboa and Cristobal harbour and enjoy the excellent food.

Visit the old part of the town03 May 12
Panama city is a bit lacking the charm of the rest of the country. It is a nice enough place to start your journey through Panama, but I would advice to see the rest of the country which has much more charm than the capital. Do not miss the old part of Panama City 'casco viejo'!Willem - Netherlands

During 'Semana Santa' many stores and restaurants are closed. Keep that in mind when you visit the city around Easter.
