About Panama City
Founded in 1519, Panama City is one of the oldest European settlements on the Pacific coast of the Americas. Its history is a tale of destruction and rebirth, famously sacked by pirates and rebuilt in its current location, now known as Casco Viejo, in 1673. Today, the city is famous globally for the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal, a critical artery of international trade. Culturally, it's a melting pot of Afro-Caribbean, indigenous, Spanish, and modern influences, reflected in its music, festivals, and food. The city is divided into distinct districts: the historic Casco Viejo, a UNESCO World Heritage site; the bustling downtown financial district; the modern, upscale neighborhoods of Punta Pacifica and Punta Paitilla with their iconic skyscrapers; and the Amador Causeway, a recreational area connecting three islands. It's a city of commerce and leisure, where business suits and beachwear exist side-by-side.
Best Time to Visit Panama City
The best time to visit Panama City is during the dry season, which runs from mid-December to April. This period offers plenty of sunshine, lower humidity, and minimal rainfall, making it ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities. This is also the peak tourist season, so expect higher prices and more crowds. The wet or "green" season spans from May to November, bringing daily afternoon showers and lush landscapes. While humidity is higher and rain can disrupt plans, this is the off-peak season with fewer tourists and better deals. Major events include Carnival (the four days before Ash Wednesday), a massive nationwide celebration, and Panama's Independence Day on November 3rd, featuring parades and festivities. The shoulder months of December and April can offer a good balance of weather and value.
