Why you'll love it
Panama City is a modern capital on the Pacific, where a skyline of towers sits beside a historic old quarter and the entrance to the Panama Canal. It scores 7 out of 10 for food and value, so it's a good-value stopover with plenty to explore.
The best time to visit Panama City is December to April, the dry season, with sunny days and steady breezes. The rest of the year brings heavier afternoon rain.
Watch ships pass through the Miraflores Locks on the Panama Canal, then explore Casco Viejo, the colonial old town and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk or cycle the Cinta Costera waterfront and the Amador Causeway, and visit the colourful Biomuseo. Trips run to the San Blas Islands, home to the Guna people.
Panama City suits stopover travellers, couples and history fans.
