Frequently Asked Questions about hotels in Panama
What are the best landmarks to visit in Panama?
Panama City boasts incredible landmarks. The Panama Canal, a marvel of engineering, is a must-see. Explore the Casco Viejo, a UNESCO World Heritage site with its colonial architecture and charming plazas. The Biomuseo, designed by Frank Gehry, showcases Panama's biodiversity. For stunning views, visit the Cinta Costera, a waterfront promenade.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Panama?
Beyond sightseeing, consider a Panama Canal cruise, experiencing the transit firsthand. Explore the rainforest via hiking or a canopy tour in El Valle de Anton or Bocas del Toro. Relax on the beautiful beaches of Bocas del Toro or the Pearl Islands. Visit the indigenous Emberá Purú communities for a cultural experience.
The best time to visit is during the dry season, from December to April, when there's less rainfall and sunshine abounds. However, keep in mind that this is peak season, so expect higher prices and more crowds. The shoulder seasons (May-June and September-November) offer a good balance of pleasant weather and fewer tourists.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Panama?
Which neighborhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Panama?
For a week-long stay, consider basing yourself in Panama City's Casco Viejo for its historical charm and proximity to attractions. Alternatively, stay in the modern area of Punta Pacifica for luxury accommodations and easy access to the city's amenities. If you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, consider spending a few days in El Valle de Anton or Bocas del Toro.
Which parts of Panama are perfect for a weekend getaway?
A weekend getaway could easily be spent exploring Casco Viejo and the Panama Canal in Panama City. Alternatively, consider a trip to the beaches of Taboga Island, easily accessible by ferry, or a visit to El Valle de Anton, known for its cooler climate and natural beauty.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Panama?
Renting a car is recommended for exploring areas outside of Panama City, especially if you plan to visit more remote locations like Bocas del Toro or the highlands. Within Panama City itself, taxis and ride-sharing services are readily available and often more convenient.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Panama?
Credit cards, particularly Visa and Mastercard, are widely accepted in larger hotels, restaurants, and shops in tourist areas. However, it's always a good idea to carry some local currency (Balboa) for smaller establishments and informal transactions.
What are the largest airports in Panama?
Tocumen International Airport (PTY) in Panama City is the main international airport. Albrook 'Marcos A. Gelabert' International Airport (PAC) is a smaller airport, primarily serving domestic flights and some international private aviation.
Are there any unwritten rules of behavior visitors should know about in Panama?
Panama is generally a friendly and welcoming country. Learning a few basic Spanish phrases is appreciated. It's considered polite to greet people with a handshake or a 'hola'. Punctuality isn't always strictly adhered to, so be flexible. Be respectful of local customs and traditions.
What local specialties should you try in Panama?
Sancocho, a hearty chicken or beef stew, is a national favorite. Try ceviche, a fresh seafood dish marinated in citrus juices. For a sweet treat, indulge in arroz con leche, a creamy rice pudding. Many restaurants offer delicious variations of these dishes.
Where are the best shopping spots in Panama?
Multiplaza Pacific Mall offers high-end international brands. For local crafts and souvenirs, visit the Mercado de Mariscos (seafood market) or explore the shops in Casco Viejo. The El Cangrejo neighborhood also has a variety of boutiques and shops.
What signature events or festivals take place in Panama?
Panama celebrates Carnival, a vibrant pre-Lenten festival with parades and street parties, usually in February or March. The National Day of Panama is celebrated on November 3rd with parades and festivities. Smaller, local festivals happen throughout the year, varying by region.
What’s the best place in Panama for mild and comfortable weather?
El Valle de Anton, nestled in a volcanic crater, offers a consistently mild and comfortable climate, making it a great escape from the heat and humidity of the coastal areas.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Panama?
One common mistake is not exchanging currency before arrival, as it can be challenging to find exchange bureaus in certain areas. Another is neglecting to learn basic Spanish phrases, as it can limit interactions with locals. Overlooking the potential for rain, even during the dry season, is another common oversight.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Panama?
The Pearl Islands offer secluded beaches and opportunities for snorkeling and diving. The Darién Gap, a remote and challenging region, is ideal for adventurous travelers (though requires extensive planning). Smaller towns like Boquete offer charming experiences away from the main tourist routes.
