Panama City Travel Overview
Panama City is surprisingly modern in comparison to other Central American capital cities. With a strong American influence due to the Panama Canal, you will notice some similarities to American cities in the companies represented, the sheer size of buildings along the city line, and service attitudes - this might just be the only place in Latin America where restaurants bring you a free glass of water with ice when you sit down. Featuring around 120 banks, Panama City is the home to much of the Latin American banking industry. Shopping is also exceptionally good due in a large part to low import duties and large volume; Panama City has also developed a taste for the American-style mall with monstrous complexes in and outside of the city.
With a city coastline on the Pacific Ocean, some of the cheapest and best shopping in Latin America, some great islands just off the coast and the Panama Canal less than an hour away, there are plenty of activities to keep you busy in Panama City.
