Frequently Asked Questions about hotels in Panama
What are the best landmarks to visit in Panama?
Panama City offers iconic landmarks like the Panama Canal, a marvel of engineering you can tour or see from Miraflores Locks. Casco Viejo, the historic district, is a UNESCO World Heritage site with stunning colonial architecture, plazas, and the Metropolitan Cathedral. The Biomuseo, designed by Frank Gehry, showcases Panama's biodiversity. Outside the city, you'll find the ruins of Panama Viejo, the original city founded in 1519.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Panama?
Exploring the Panama Canal is a must. Take a canal cruise for a unique perspective. In Panama City, wander through Casco Viejo's charming streets, visit the Biomuseo, and enjoy the vibrant nightlife. Beyond the city, consider hiking in El Valle de Anton, a volcanic crater with waterfalls and lush rainforests, or visiting Bocas del Toro for island hopping and snorkeling.
The dry season, from December to April, offers the best weather for sightseeing, with sunny days and lower humidity. However, this is also peak tourist season, so expect higher prices and more crowds. The shoulder seasons (May-June and September-November) offer a good compromise between pleasant weather and fewer tourists.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Panama?
Which neighborhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Panama?
For a week-long stay, consider basing yourself in Panama City. Casco Viejo offers a charming and historic setting, while areas like Bella Vista and Punta Pacifica provide modern amenities and proximity to the city's attractions. If you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, El Cangrejo offers a vibrant neighborhood feel with plenty of restaurants and shops.
Which parts of Panama are perfect for a weekend getaway?
For a weekend trip, consider visiting El Valle de Anton, a short drive from Panama City, for its cooler climate and natural beauty. Bocas del Toro is also a great option for a quick beach getaway, offering stunning Caribbean islands and snorkeling opportunities. If you're interested in history and culture, a weekend in Casco Viejo is a fantastic choice.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Panama?
Renting a car is recommended for exploring areas outside Panama City, especially if you plan on visiting places like El Valle de Anton or Bocas del Toro (though you'll need a water taxi to access many Bocas del Toro islands). Within Panama City, using taxis or ride-sharing services is often more convenient due to traffic.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Panama?
Credit cards are widely accepted in larger hotels, restaurants, and shops in Panama City and tourist areas. However, it's always a good idea to have some local currency (Balboa) on hand, especially for smaller establishments or in more rural areas.
What are the largest airports in Panama?
Tocumen International Airport (PTY) in Panama City is the main international airport. There are also smaller airports serving other regions of the country.
Are there any unwritten rules of behavior visitors should know about in Panama?
Panama is a relatively relaxed country, but it's courteous to be punctual for appointments and respectful of local customs. Learning a few basic Spanish phrases is always appreciated. Being aware of personal space is also important.
What local specialties should you try in Panama?
Sancocho, a hearty stew, is a national favorite. Try also the delicious seafood, such as ceviche or fresh fish. For a sweet treat, sample arroz con coco (coconut rice) or dulce de leche.
Where are the best shopping spots in Panama?
Multiplaza Pacific Mall offers high-end international brands. For local crafts and souvenirs, explore the shops in Casco Viejo. The Mercado Público in Panama City offers a more local shopping experience.
What signature events or festivals take place in Panama?
Panama celebrates Carnival, a vibrant pre-Lenten celebration with parades and festivities. The National Day of Panama (November 3) is also a significant event. Many smaller, regional festivals take place throughout the year.
What’s the best place in Panama for mild and comfortable weather?
El Valle de Anton, nestled in a volcanic crater, offers a consistently mild and comfortable climate throughout the year, making it a good escape from the humidity of Panama City.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Panama?
Not exchanging currency for Balboa before arriving or only relying on credit cards. Not being prepared for the humidity and heat, especially during the rainy season. Underestimating travel times, especially in Panama City during rush hour.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Panama?
The Pearl Islands offer secluded beaches and tranquil waters. The Darien Gap, a remote and challenging region on the border with Colombia, is ideal for adventurous travelers (requires significant planning and preparation). Explore the Emberá Purú indigenous communities for a cultural experience.
