Panama City is an exciting cosmopolitan capital located on the Pacific Coast of Panama and one of great contrasts.

Soaring skyscrapers and a thriving banking district demonstrate the new era as they sparkle next to the remainders of the first Panama City (Panama Viejo) and the fading grandeur of the sumptuous French-style mansions of Casco Antiguo, which are slowly and lovingly being restored into fine restaurants and boutique hotels. Similarly the rather clinical area of the Canal Zone provides a further contrast to this incredibly diverse city with many stories to tell. Within one hour visitors can be in the heart of one of the many beautiful National Parks home to an abundance of wildlife.
