I came to Panama on a stopover flight experience with COPA Airlines. This was a wonderful decision as it was my first time to this amazing country. There is so much to see and do in and around Panama City that five days just scratched the surface.

Although on the Pacific coast, PC really offers no beaches. For Latin America, the city itself, especially business area, is relatively compact, good & inexpensive public transportation. Lots of area along the ocean for walking, biking, skating.

We enjoyed our stay in Panama City. There are many things to do, including the canal, the BioMuseum, parks, Casco Viejo and many others. The part we did not like was the traffic. It was a bit crazy. However, most of the Uber drivers were good.
