The best thing in Panama in 12 days in November 22. The biggest eain what I have seen in 72 years. It was built by Americans before First World War. Also BioMuseun by Frank Gehry, but open just weekends.

Although glaring obvious, this is a bit of a hidden gem that I discovered on the last day of my 5-day trip to Panama City. The BioMuseo (amazing natural history museum ) is the first thing you encounter when approaching this causeway. There are plenty of restaurants and random tourist attractions for kids. You'll find the largest concentration of ice cream, yogurt, and smoothie shops anywhere in Panama City.

Panama City is a city with a lot of inequality and sometimes you have to drive through a very poor quarter in order to reach your destination. But I think that visitinh the Canal is worth the trip. We also visited the Amador Causeway, that is very beautiful, and Casco Viejo, which I found was the best of the whole trip.

A great way to spend a few hours. Nice shopping, a beautiful view of the city skyline, and plenty of dine al fresco dining options. You can also rent bikes and other things from Burke's Bikes, which is a must do. Also, if you can get to the Monuments to the cultures, it is fascinating and beautiful. It was not on anything that i read about, as it is slightly out of the way, but easily visited by bike.

Such a beautiful place to spend time by yourself/family/friends. The place offers tons of chairs for you to enjoy the view of downtown Panama City and Casco Viejo. The place felt pretty safe and there are a lot of options for food and drinks. There’s a park nearby with a playground for those who have kids. This would have been a five star review if trash weren’t littered on the sea floor. Otherwise, I had a relaxing time spending about an hour hanging out there after my excursion in Taboga Island.

We stopped here on our cruise ship. Unfortunately, it was a Federal Holiday when we arrived so almost all the shops, restaurants and attractions were closed. We decided to take the Hop on Hop off bus to get a feel for the Old and New City. We got off the bus in the Old City and wandered around the area, had lunch, and visited a few shops that were open. Instead of taking the bus back to our cruise ship shuttle we decided to get a taxi (rates are negotiable). If we return, we would like to spend more time in the Old City. The New City is where all the larger buildings are located. There was a mall in that area, but there did not appear to be more to see in the way of sites there.

Great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Fantastic sea breeze to help cool you down! Great to watch the ships pass by and see the Bridge of the Americas We visited in low season and restaurants don't open until after 10am - so don't go looking for an early breakfast! Lots of restaurants to choose from of varying price ranges. Street vendors, ice cream shops and lots of bike/scooter/trike hire shops! Lots of families go in the evenings as there are great things for children there. Paths and wide and marked with distances in both directions- split for pedestrians and bikes. Great views across the bay to the view of the new city. Bio museo and Punta Calebra on the causeway. Hop on/off buses stop here as well as local buses and the endless taxis looking for business who toot as they pass to see if you want them to stop. Loved watching the pelicans flying around and sitting on the docks. Great place to get away to - we stayed on the causeway and were glad we did so. If you walk down the Isla Flamenco you can see the cruise terminal and the Panama sign.

Visited here on both my trips to Panama in August 2022 and August 2023. Loved the calmness and serenity of the area. Definitely gives a cool vibe and the area is kept very clean. My son very much enjoyed playing in the park. There are a few vendors around as well selling shaved ice and sausage skewers (I'm not sure of the correct name - I'm sorry!). This time around we also went to Panama Karting nearby which was lots of fun for my son. There's also an adult course as well. Also worth going all the way to the end by Flamenco Marina for photos by the Panama Sign.

Panama City tourist need a quiet nearby place to escape from the city bustle. The causeway is the place to do it. Take a stroll along the waterfront, rent a bike or a scooter or something else to move around, take pictures of the ships waiting for their turn at the Canal, or take a picture simply with palm tree and ocean backdrops. We went twice.

Spent most of our time on the main island enjoying the shops. walked easily to Flamengo Island too. Porkys Lobster is now closed. There is a liquor store (Felipe Moto) with better prices on alcohol by far than the little market on the main island. there were plenty of ubers and taxis available. the Biomuseum is only open on Saturday and Sunday currently. we had a great time here.
