Panama City, Panama: A cosmopolitan, dynamic city, where the modern and the traditional come together to create a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere. Here you can walk on the Cinta Costera and contemplate the beauty of the modern city, and you can discover the past and have fun in the Old Town of the capital city. The Panama Canal will amaze you with its engineering and its relevance in the global economy.
The capital of Panama is really three cities in one, with a historic district, a rebuilt district, and very modern areas. This vibrant and dynamic urban centre is truly a cosmopolitan city in the middle of the tropics, so expect to see massive skyscrapers surrounded by breathtaking nature.
Panama City is home to one of the 7 man-made wonders of the world, the famed Panama Canal. As home to the canal, along with the most well-connected airport in Latin America, Panama City truly helps connect the world.
I only spent four days here but hopefully soon I can return and explore more of Panama City.
