Miraflores Locks (Panama Canal)
Panama City
The Miraflores Locks are the Pacific-side gateway of the Panama Canal, where visitors watch container ships and tankers rise and fall through the lock chambers at close range. The visitor center's observation decks and museum exhibits explain the canal's construction and its ongoing role in global trade.
2
Casco Viejo
Panama City
Panama City's colonial old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of restored Spanish-colonial buildings, wrought-iron balconies, and brick-paved streets overlooking the bay. Its plazas, churches, and rooftop bars make it the historic and social heart of the modern city.
3
Panama Viejo
Panama City
The stone ruins of Panama La Vieja mark the site of the original Panama City, founded by the Spanish in 1519 and destroyed by the pirate Henry Morgan in 1671. Its weathered cathedral tower still stands over the archaeological site, a UNESCO World Heritage listing alongside Casco Viejo.
4
Biomuseo
Panama City
Designed by architect Frank Gehry, the Biomuseo's brightly colored, angular roofline is one of Panama City's most distinctive landmarks, standing at the entrance to the Amador Causeway. Inside, its exhibits tell the real story of how the rise of the Isthmus of Panama reshaped the planet's biodiversity by connecting North and South America.
5
Ancon Hill
Panama City
Rising above downtown Panama City, this forested hill is a real slice of rainforest inside the capital, with hiking trails leading to a summit view of the skyline, the Panama Canal, and the Bridge of the Americas. Sloths, toucans, and other wildlife are regularly spotted in its tree canopy, just minutes from the city center.
Panama City sits near sea level close to the equator, so expect consistent heat and humidity year-round, typically in the high 80s°F (around 30-32°C). Light, breathable clothing and sun protection are worth packing regardless of season.
Panama has a dry season (roughly mid-December to mid-April) and a rainy season (roughly May to November). Rainy-season showers are usually short, heavy afternoon downpours rather than all-day rain, so mornings are often clear.
Panama uses the US dollar (locally called the balboa) as its official currency alongside its own coins of the same denominations, so no currency exchange is needed for US travelers.
Ship transits at the Miraflores Locks run on a real, published schedule rather than continuously, so if seeing a ship pass through the locks matters to you, ask your guide about timing your visit.
The old town's brick and cobblestone streets are best explored on foot; comfortable, closed-toe shoes make a real difference over a few hours of walking.
Panama is one of the few places where you can genuinely see both the Pacific and, with a coastal day trip, the Caribbean (Atlantic) side of the country in the same visit.
Panama City sits where the Panama Canal meets the Pacific Ocean, a compact capital where a modern skyline of glass high-rises looks across the bay at Casco Viejo's restored Spanish-colonial streets and, further out, the stone ruins of the original settlement at Panama Viejo. It's one of the few capital cities in the world where you can watch a container ship the length of several football fields rise through a canal lock in the morning and be back in a rooftop bar in the colonial old town by evening.
Beyond the canal and the old town, Panama City is also a genuine gateway to the country's rainforest and its indigenous communities — Soberania National Park and the Gatun Lake islands sit close enough to the capital for a half-day wildlife boat trip, and the Emberá communities of Chagres National Park welcome visitors for a respectful, real cultural exchange rather than a staged photo-op. The Caribbean coast, with the historic port of Portobelo and the Guna-governed San Blas islands, is a real day trip away on the country's other coastline.
