The Top Things to do in Panama City, Panama
When we booked our trip to Costa Rica we had a layover in Panama so we decided, why not extend our trip and visit the country? So that’s exactly what we did! We only had a few days here so we only got to explore Panama City but we’re so glad we did! The few days we had here were the perfect amount of time to see almost everything.
Where to Stay
We stayed in the middle of Panama City at the Double Tree, but if we would go back, we would stay in the Casco Viejo area. Casco Viejo is the historic district of Panama City and still has that old-timey feel. We kept going back to this area to hangout so we definitely recommend staying near here if you ever visit Panama City.
Best Things to Do
Visit the Panama Canal
Walk around Casco Viejo
Go hiking in Parque Metropolitano
Eat ceviche at Mercado de Mariscos de Panama
Where to Eat & Drink
Taqueria Mordida de Burro
Tantalo (they also had an amazing rooftop bar!)
Beirut
Il Gelato (for some good ice cream/sorbet!)
You can definitely see all of Panama City in a few days and we wouldn’t recommend staying longer that that here. If we had more time we would have loved to go to the San Blas Islands or Bocas del Toro but I guess that means we’ll just have to go back ;)
