What is there to do in Panama City?

Regarded by some as the most cosmopolitan city in Central America, Panama City is a hub of vibrancy, presenting the feel of a bustling city whilst offering the chance to explore alluringly tropical landscapes. The city is vast in its contrasts; traffic jams and casinos are lined between laid back bars and cool clubs – in Panama the options for fun and adventure are endless. The canal is an obvious highlight, holding the key to Panama’s popularity. Whether it’s an excursion along the water or just a visit to admire the beautiful surrounding landscape, the gateway to exotic lands oftentimes proves too accessible to ignore. Aside from the canal, there is plenty to see around the city, particularly the stunning architecture around the city centre. The Palacio Bolivar and the Plaza Bolivar provide insight into the architectural history of the island, whilst Independence Square is the ideal place to while away a few hours amid beautiful buildings.

How do visitors get around Panama City?

Panama City is possible to be covered entirely by foot due to its small size and relatively close proximity of the major landmarks. Alternatively, there are taxis readily available throughout the town for cheap and convenient transport.

Viveros Island Guide

What is there to do in Viveros Island?

Viveros Island has been overcome by those who have a taste for luxury; deluxe hotels and resorts grace the island, offering exotic cocktails, sumptuous cuisine and a vibrant atmosphere to tempt visitors into extending their indulgence. Most who visit do so only for a day or two, using the grand facilities as an escape from the mainland of Panama – some companies offer tours where food and drink is provided – and guests have time to lounge on the golden sands of the beach. The Caribbean sun can become relentless, especially in the summer, so take a refresher in the azure blue waters to cool down. For those lucky enough to enjoy the island for longer than just a day, the resorts offer high quality rooms, delicious food as well as the beautiful views. It really is heaven on Earth.
