World-Famous Attractions

Despite the fact that Panama is a small country, there is a lot to see and do here. The legendary Panama Canal, a wonder of nautical architecture that has continued to help Panama flourish and prosper as a major commercial hub in Central America, is one of the country's most famous characteristics. This magnificent canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans via the Caribbean Sea and spans for about 50 miles through some of Panama's most stunning scenery. You can join a partial or full-day transit excursion from Panama City to see the entire length of this wonderful river.

A journey on the Panama Canal Railway, which runs parallel to the canal through lush rainforest, is another interesting way to observe this engineering marvel. The Miraflores Visitors Center and the Colon Panama Canal Expansion Observation Center are two further land-based platforms that should not be overlooked on any tour.

Of course, the country's capital must be seen to be believed. Panama City, with a history spanning more than 500 years, is one of Central America's most cosmopolitan urban hubs. Panama City, with its world-class restaurants, exciting nightlife, and historic districts such as Casco Viejo, is truly a jewel in Panama's crown and a must-see for any visitor spending time here.
