Soaring skyscrapers and a thriving banking district demonstrate the new era as they sparkle next to the remainders of Panama Viejo and the fading grandeur of the sumptuous French-style mansions of Casco Antiguo, which continues to be lovingly restored into fine restaurants and boutique hotels.

Panama City is an exciting cosmopolitan capital of great contrasts, located on the Pacific Coast of Panama and at the entrance of the Panama Canal. During the colonial period, Panama City was the base from which the Inca Empire in Peru was conquered and became one of the most important trading routes of the American Continent. Today, a thriving economy, sophisticated social scene, and world-class hotels and restaurants make it one of the liveliest capital cities in Central America.
