Frequently asked questions about hotels in Panama
What are the best landmarks to visit in Panama?
Panama City boasts some incredible landmarks. The Panama Canal, of course, is a must-see, offering tours and viewpoints to appreciate its engineering marvel. Casco Viejo, the historic quarter, is a UNESCO World Heritage site with stunning colonial architecture, plazas like Plaza de Francia, and the Metropolitan Cathedral. The Biomuseo, designed by Frank Gehry, showcases Panama's biodiversity. For panoramic views, head to Cerro Ancón for a stunning vista of the city and the Canal.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Panama?
The dry season, from December to April, offers the best weather for sightseeing, with less rainfall and sunshine. However, this is peak tourist season, so expect higher prices and more crowds. The shoulder seasons (May-June and September-November) offer a good compromise – pleasant weather with fewer tourists and lower prices.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Panama?
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Panama?
For a week, basing yourself in Panama City offers easy access to many attractions. Casco Viejo provides a charming, historic setting with boutique hotels and restaurants. El Cangrejo is a more modern area with a lively atmosphere, great restaurants, and easy access to transportation. If you prefer a quieter, more residential feel, Bella Vista might be a better fit.
Which parts of Panama are perfect for a weekend getaway?
For a quick escape, the San Blas Islands offer a relaxing beach getaway. Bocas del Toro, with its Caribbean vibe and islands, is another excellent choice for a short trip. If you prefer something closer to the city, Taboga Island, a short ferry ride from Panama City, provides a tranquil island escape.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Panama?
Renting a car depends on your plans. In Panama City, it's often more convenient to use taxis or Uber. However, if you plan on exploring areas outside the city, particularly in more rural regions, a rental car offers greater flexibility. Be aware that driving conditions can vary, and some roads may be challenging.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Panama?
Credit cards, especially Visa and Mastercard, are widely accepted in larger hotels, restaurants, and shops in Panama City and tourist areas. However, smaller establishments or those in more rural areas may prefer cash, so it's wise to carry some Balboa (the Panamanian currency).
What are the largest airports in Panama?
Tocumen International Airport (PTY) in Panama City is the main international airport serving the country. There are smaller airports in other regions, such as Albrook 'Marcos A. Gelabert' International Airport, also in Panama City, but primarily serving domestic flights.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Panama?
Panamanians are generally friendly and welcoming. It's polite to greet people with a 'Buenos dÃas' or 'Buenas tardes', depending on the time of day. Learning a few basic Spanish phrases is always appreciated. Being respectful of local customs and traditions goes a long way.
What local specialties should you try in Panama?
Sancocho, a hearty stew, is a national favourite. Try also the delicious seafood, especially ceviche. For a sweet treat, sample the arroz con leche (rice pudding). Many regional variations exist, so explore different areas to discover unique dishes.
Where are the best shopping spots in Panama?
Multiplaza Pacific Mall is a large modern mall with international brands. For more local crafts and souvenirs, explore the markets in Casco Viejo or visit artisan shops in El Cangrejo. The Mercado de Mariscos is a great place to experience local life and find fresh seafood.
What signature events or festivals take place in Panama?
Panama celebrates Carnival, a vibrant pre-Lenten celebration with parades and festivities. The Patron Saint festivities of various towns and cities throughout the year also offer unique cultural experiences. Specific dates vary annually, so checking a local calendar is advisable.
What’s the best place in Panama for mild and comfortable weather?
The highlands of Boquete offer consistently mild temperatures throughout the year, making it ideal for those seeking cooler weather. The average temperature is around 20°C.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Panama?
One common mistake is underestimating the distances between locations, especially outside Panama City. Another is not exchanging currency beforehand, although credit cards are widely accepted in tourist areas. Finally, neglecting to learn basic Spanish phrases can sometimes create communication barriers.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Panama?
The Emberá Puru indigenous community offers a chance to experience a different way of life. The Pipeline Road in SoberanÃa National Park is a fantastic spot for birdwatching. For a less-visited beach experience, explore the islands off the coast of Bocas del Toro beyond the main tourist areas. These are just a few examples; many hidden gems await discovery.
