Panama City Overview
Panama City, the capital of Panama, is a modern city framed by the
Pacific Ocean and man-made Panama Canal. Casco Viejo, its cobblestoned
historic center, is famed for colonial-era landmarks like the
neoclassical Palacio Presidencial and bougainvillea-filled plazas lined
with cafes and bars. The Miraflores Locks offers views of ships
traversing the canal, an essential shipping route linking the Atlantic
and Pacific.
