Panama Canal
Visitors have the opportunity to observe transiting vessels from a distance of only a few meters and learn firsthand about the various operations of the Panama Canal, the history of its construction, its participation in the world markets, and the importance of its watershed.
Casco Viejo
Will enjoy walking along alleys and colonial buildings, ruins and streets of stone, museums, and antique churches, where three styles of construction are combined: Spanish, French and Italian.
Amador Causeway (Calzada de Amador)
Built in 1913, with rocks excavated from Culebra Cut during the construction of the Panama Canal, the Amador Causeway links Panama City with four islands: Naos, Perico, Culebra and Flamenco. It's a site with a nice view of the city and the boats waiting to enter the canal.
