    The IMAX Movie Experience: Enjoy a world-class, 3D IMAX documentary narrated by Morgan Freeman. It takes you on a captivating journey through time, from the rugged, French-led beginnings and the monumental American triumph to the modern-day expansion of the channel.

    Here's what awaits you:

    Stunning Colonial Architecture : Walk through narrow, cobblestone streets lined with colorful buildings, grand churches, and elegant squares. You will discover iconic landmarks like the Metropolitan Cathedral and the ruins of the Santo Domingo Convent, home to the famous Arco Chato (Flat Arch).

    Breathtaking Panoramic Views : Head to the Paseo de las Vaultas (the old city walls) for incredible, postcard-perfect views. From here, you can see the modern city skyline across the bay, the Amador Causeway, and ships lined up waiting to enter the Panama Canal.

    Rich History and Culture : Learn the fascinating stories of how this walled city was built in 1673 to protect the population after the original city (Old Panama).

    Trendy Atmosphere & Local Art: Discover vibrant artisan markets where local Guna indigenous women sell colorful, handmade molas. You will also pass by some of the city's finest boutique hotels, art galleries, and lively plazas filled.
  3. Amador Causeway (Calzada de Amador)
    1h
    Connecting Panama City to four small Pacific islands, the Amador Causeway is one of the most scenic and relaxing spots in the country. Built using rock excavated during the construction of the Panama Canal, this vibrant 6-kilometer strip offers a perfect blend of tropical ocean breezes, modern sights, and local life.

    Unbeatable Skyline and Ocean Views: Get your camera ready! The Causeway offers the absolute best panoramic views of Panama City's towering glass skyscrapers contrasting against the blue of the Pacific Ocean. It is the ultimate spot for group photos and selfies.

    The Entrance to the Canal: Watch huge container ships, yachts, and sailboats line up at the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal. You can easily see the Bridge of the Americas arching over the waterway in the distance.

    Vibrant Marina and Coastal Walkway: Stroll along the palm-lined paths, watch locals bike or jog by, and enjoy the lively, open-air harbor atmosphere.
