Rent a step or bicycle and ride along the entire coastline of Panama City. You have a very nice boulevard and the Amador Causeway here. This causeway connects the islands off the coast of Panama City with a huge bridge. The Causeway is very popular with walkers and cyclists. Logical because while cycling or walking you can enjoy the view of the enormous buildings on one side and the ocean on the other.
Metropolitan park
The metropolitan park is a wonderful escape from the bustle of Panama City. It is located on the outskirts of the city and consists of a large area of tropical rainforest. If you pay close attention you have a chance to spot different animals. We spotted a monkey, coatis and many species of birds.

You can take different routes with different lengths in distance and time. We recommend that you at least walk all the way to the top, because you definitely don't want to miss the lookout point over the city skyline! You only need to set aside a few hours for this, depending on which and how many routes you want to walk. The entrance costs €4 p.p.
Panama canal
If there is something else known to do in Panama, it is to visit the Panama Canal. You don't want to skip this one. It's so impressive. It is one of the largest and most intricate engineering projects ever created. It is best visited from the Miraflores Visitors Center. Here you get a lot of information about the use of the canal, after which you end up on an observation platform. Arrive early in the morning or in the late afternoon, as this is the best time to see a boat passing through the canal. The entrance is €10 p.p.
Las Americas bridge
If there's one thing in Panama you might not visit anytime soon, it's the Las Americas bridge. This is a huge bridge over a river that leads out of Panama City. If you leave Panama City, it is certainly cool to drive over it. After the bridge you can immediately stop at a parking lot on the right to take a few pictures. After this you can also immediately pick up your route again.
