Panama City combines a gleaming skyline of skyscrapers with Casco Viejo, a colonial old town, and sits at the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal.
Casco Viejo
Casco Viejo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has restored colonial buildings, plazas, churches and rooftop bars with skyline views. The Cinta Costera is a seaside promenade linking the old town with the modern city.
The canal
At the Miraflores Locks, visitors watch huge ships pass through the canal. The colorful Biomuseo, designed by Frank Gehry, tells the story of the isthmus. The Amador Causeway leads to small islands.
