Description
Connect with Panama: Enjoy a local experience that combines history, culture, and cuisine.
Discover two sides of Panama City on a walking tour that combines the history of the Casco Viejo with the energy of its neighborhoods and local markets.
We'll start by exploring Casco Viejo, a World Heritage Site, strolling through squares, historic streets, and colonial architecture while learning about the stories, interesting facts, and figures that have shaped the city.
We'll then leave the most touristy area behind to head into the suburbs and discover a different side of Panama: public markets full of tropical fruits and fresh produce, handicrafts, traditional clothing, small shops, and places frequented by Panamanians themselves.
During the tour, you'll also discover the cultural diversity that characterizes Panama, from Chinatown to traditional food stalls and other places where different cultures, flavors, and ways of life come together.
More than just visiting places, this walking tour aims to give you a glimpse of everyday life in the city. Get to know Panama through its streets, its markets, its stories, its flavors, and, above all, its people.
Ideal for travelers who want to go beyond the main tourist attractions and discover a more authentic and local side of Panama City.
Please note: This is a shared sightseeing tour. The tour starts at the designated meeting point and requires a minimum of 4 participants to take place. The cost will be refunded if the sightseeing tour is canceled due to an insufficient number of participants.
