Vor der Reise
Vom Flughafen
Tocumen International (PTY) is about 25km from downtown. Official airport taxis to the city center cost a fixed $30-35. Uber is available and often 30-40% cheaper. There is no direct train; public bus Route V1 costs $1.25 but is slow and not recommended with luggage.
Unterwegs in der Stadt
Casco Viejo and the Amador Causeway are very walkable. Most other neighborhoods (like El Cangrejo, Bella Vista, financial district) are walkable within themselves, but distances between them are large, requiring taxis, buses, or the Metro.
Tipps von Einheimischen
- Carry both small US Dollar bills and coins (Balboas). While USD is used interchangeably, change is often given in Balboa coins, and small bills are essential for taxis and markets.
- For the best Panama Canal viewing, check the ship transit schedule online for the Miraflores Locks before you go. Early morning or late afternoon transits are most active and avoid the midday heat.
- Use the 'Metrobus' card for city buses. It's a rechargeable card (sold at metro stations and kiosks) required for the modern public bus system; drivers do not accept cash.
