DESTINY
CIUDAD DE PANAMÁ
In Panama you will not only find treasures such as beautiful beaches and dream islands. Panama City is the most cosmopolitan capital in Central America and a must-see for any traveler to the area. The capital of Panama is actually 3 cities in one: a historic district, a reconstructed district, and very modern areas. This vibrant and dynamic urban center is a truly cosmopolitan city in the middle of the tropics, so prepare to see towering skyscrapers surrounded by stunning nature. And let’s not forget that Panama City is home to one of the 7 wonders of the world created by man: the famous Panama Canal. Thanks to this and the best connected airport in Latin America, Panama City really helps keep the world connected.
To enjoy all that Panama City has to offer, stay at least a few days and consider extending your trip so you can do as much as you want! Upon arrival in the city, explore the Casco Antiguo: it is the historic district of the city and is home to some of the best hotels and terrace bars. Also make sure to visit some of the best restaurants in the city. As a UNESCO Creative City for gastronomy, Panama City is home to a vibrant and diverse scene led by world-class chefs.
If you want to contemplate the three cities at the same time (the old, the reconstructed and the modern) from 199 meters high, walk to the highest point of the city: Cerro Ancón. This viewpoint is a must see for all visitors. You should also visit the Parque Natural Metropolitano, a true tropical jungle in the middle of the urban area, making Panama City the only national capital in the world with a tropical jungle within the city limits. And, of course, you must know the world-famous Panama Canal: see it from the Miraflores locks, just a few minutes from the heart of Panama City.
