WB2021:“Obviously a must visit if you're in the city. This is the older part of the city and its historical center. It features old colonial houses, albeit many are being restored, so there is a slight gentrification aspect to the district. Nevertheless, walking through the streets lined with pastel colored houses is gorgeous. You could easily spend a morning or afternoon strolling through the districts various streets, while resting in the many open spaces when you're tired. Also a nice place to grab a bit to eat!”
M25***40:“Part of the old town, this is a beautiful place to wander around and learn a little about the history of the area. There are usually guides who share some essential information (for a fee of course) but the scenery is stunning. You can see miles around the area with impressive scenery.”

M25***40:“I was completely new to this museum. I only had one regret: I didn't rent a $5 English radio. The exhibits were all in Spanish and I could only sift through the essentials.”

Let’s talk about the old city first. Panama was once a Spanish colony, so it is very
Many architectural styles still retain the Baroque style, so casual photos will look great.
There is no piece of wood! There are many small commodity shops in the old city, some of which are also owned by Indians.

I visited the canal and also visited the control room of the canal (but I can’t post it for the time being)
come up), but stand on the steps of the canal and feel for yourself what it would be like without the bus
How long does the Nama Canal need to go from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea?
A lap is also a super exciting thing
The port of New Town and Panama, the symbol of Panama, are must-visit locations.
One, I had two drinks at the Western restaurant next to the port at night, and went to the panama restaurant
Making a funny and cute gesture next to your chest is also a romantic gesture.”
M32***23:“There happened to be a free choir performance on the day we visited the cathedral. The acoustics were wonderful. Very soulful and charming. And there was that big moving indicator hanging high up in the dome pointing to a white page on the floor. This showed that earthquake movement was visible. The architecture and icons were beautiful. It was easy to feel the peace here. It's a beautiful building.”
M25***40:“This bridge connecting the North and South American continents is a great photo spot. It only takes five minutes to get there and snap some photos. It only takes five minutes from the city center between 10 am and 4 pm, so don't go during rush hour!”
M25***40:“Panama's Biodiversity Museum was designed by Frank Gehry, a Pulitzer Prize winner. It is located at the Pacific end of the Panama Canal, overlooking the Bridge of Americas. The colorful roof panels are very Latin-style buildings, and those who are interested in architecture should not miss it.”
M25***40:“The pickup for the day went very smoothly. Our guide for the day was Miguel Ibarra, who was very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. With his help, we saw many beautiful birds, frogs, monkeys, sloths, etc. The tour started with a pickup from the hotel, but it was definitely worth it!”

Anonymous User:“Hotel très bien situé , room service quotidien , chambre spacieuse avec lit king size et climatisation qui fonctionne bien (un peu bruyante) , il y a même un petit frigo dans chambre
Point négatif, il n’y avait pas d’eau chaude dans la douche lors de mon séjour”
Elena Barankevich:“Очень стильный отель с разнообразными ресторанами, компактным спортзалом и небольшим, но достаточным бассейном на крыше. Рекомендуем вкусные завтраки. Красивое лобби и элегантный бар с приятной публикой. Внимательный персонал . Организовали нам трансфер на большом комфортабельном микроавтобусе и на пару часов дали возможность выехать попозже без доплаты.
Не очень понравилась часть обстановки ( стул со своего места трудно сдвинуть. Стеклянные дверцы шкафов открываются на всю ширину узкого прохода, в сейф добраться возможно только сидя на коленях.
Эти небольшие неудобства нисколько не испортили впечатления от отеля и в другой раз мы снова остановимся в нем.”
