Panama City can feel like a 2 centre destination. On one side there is the hustle and bustle of a modern metropolis with the traffic, construction projects, bright lights and casinos. On the other side, head over to Casco Viej, where you will find boutique hotels, cobble stone streets and the older buildings to admire. Panama City is the ideal starting point for a Panama exploration with easy access to both the Caribbean and Pacific coastlines, the rainforest, and of course, its famous canal.
