Frequently Asked Questions about hotels in Panama
What are the best landmarks to visit in Panama?
Panama City boasts incredible landmarks. The Panama Canal, of course, is a must-see, offering tours and observation points. 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.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Panama?
Beyond the Canal, consider exploring the San Blas Islands for pristine beaches and indigenous culture. Hiking in El Valle de Antón, a volcanic crater, is a great option. For wildlife encounters, visit the Soberanía National Park, easily accessible from Panama City. A canal transit is a unique experience, and exploring Casco Viejo's charming streets and restaurants is essential.
The dry season, from December to April, offers the best weather for sightseeing, with sunshine and lower humidity. However, this is peak tourist season, so expect higher prices and more crowds. The shoulder seasons (May-June and September-November) provide a good compromise, with pleasant weather and fewer visitors.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Panama?
Which neighborhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Panama?
For a week, consider staying in Panama City. Casco Viejo offers a charming, historic setting, but hotels can be pricey. Areas like Bella Vista or Punta Pacifica provide modern amenities and are closer to the Panama Canal and other attractions. If you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, El Cangrejo is a good option.
Which parts of Panama are perfect for a weekend getaway?
A weekend trip to Bocas del Toro offers stunning beaches and Caribbean vibes. Alternatively, El Valle de Antón provides a nature escape, with opportunities for hiking and exploring the local market. Both destinations are easily accessible from Panama City.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Panama?
Renting a car is useful for exploring areas outside Panama City, particularly if you plan to visit national parks or remote beaches. However, driving in Panama City can be challenging due to traffic. For city exploration, taxis and ride-sharing services are readily available and often more convenient.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Panama?
Credit cards, especially Visa and Mastercard, are widely accepted in larger establishments and tourist areas. However, it's advisable to carry some local currency, especially for smaller businesses and 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, but PTY handles the vast majority of international flights.
Are there any unwritten rules of behavior visitors should know about Panama?
Panama is generally a welcoming country, but it's polite to learn a few basic Spanish phrases. Being respectful of local customs is important. In more conservative areas, dressing modestly is appreciated. Bargaining is common in markets, but be respectful and polite.
What local specialties should you try in Panama?
Sancocho, a hearty chicken or beef stew, is a national favorite. Try also the delicious seafood, like ceviche or fresh fish. For a sweet treat, sample arroz con leche (rice pudding) or dulce de leche.
Where are the best shopping spots in Panama?
Multiplaza Pacific Mall offers high-end brands. For local crafts and souvenirs, explore the Mercado de Mariscos (seafood market) and the shops in Casco Viejo. The Albrook Mall is a large shopping center with diverse options.
What signature events or festivals take place in Panama?
Panama celebrates Carnival, a vibrant pre-Lenten celebration with parades and street festivities. The National Day of Panama on November 3rd features parades and celebrations throughout the country. Smaller local festivals and events happen year-round.
What’s the best place in Panama for mild and comfortable weather?
El Valle de Antón, nestled in a volcanic crater, often enjoys milder temperatures than Panama City, especially during the hotter months. The higher elevation provides a more temperate climate.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Panama?
Not exchanging currency before arrival can lead to inconvenient situations. Overlooking the need for mosquito repellent, especially in rainforest areas, is another common mistake. Failing to plan transportation in advance, particularly to more remote locations, can also disrupt travel plans.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Panama?
The Pearl Islands offer a secluded archipelago with pristine beaches and opportunities for snorkeling and diving. Visit the Emberá Puru indigenous community for a cultural immersion. Explore the Pipeline Road in Soberanía National Park for incredible birdwatching.
