Panama City is an engaging and mysterious metropolis, a multifaceted place, born out of constant cultural exchanges and, at times, conflicts.
It is a place worth being discovered, a city hanging in the balance: between South and North America, tradition and innovation, luxury and poverty, overlooked by the steel of skyscrapers and surrounded by sandy beaches and green forests.
Enjoy the cosmopolitan Panama, wander through handicraft markets, large malls, local restaurants and have fun during the vibrant Panamanian nights.
