Panama City
World-class shopping and all-night partying
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
Strolls along the Amador Causeway offer panoramic cityscapes, while a trip to Panama City's Casco Viejo reveals beautiful colonial architecture. The Parque Natural Metropolitano is perfect for a hike or a flight on Panama City's Smithsonian Canopy Crane Ride.
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.
