Top 8 Spots to See in Panama City

Parks

Many parks are nestled throughout Panama City, providing convenient rest stops for busy Panamanians, in addition to centers of culture and exercise. Most parks have nice sculptures or squares, and numerous benches for sitting, relaxing, reading, and people watching. Every park has refreshment and snack vendors in order to escape the heat and grab some refreshments. Plus, zumba and yoga are frequently offered, for a small fee or on a donation basis. Feel free to jump up and join in!

Inquire with a local to find out if any shows or performances are going on in the park nearest you. Drum shows, musicians, and dance performances are not rare. Sometimes even silk and trapeze artists will put on shows! The shows are free and open to the public, and a great way to meet some new local friends and see a side of Panama City culture.
