Maybe you'll stop by Casco Veijo historical center where stoic buildings and ruins stand, or stop into the many restaurants and cafes lining the plaza there for a delicious bite of local cuisine. You could even take a walk through Old Panama City, Panama Viejo, for a nostalgic look into the past.

Accommodation

Crowne Plaza Panama

The Crowne Plaza Panama Hotel is a hotel in the financial district of Panama City. The hotel is located near banks, embassies, the University of Panama and few miles from first-class restaurants, casinos and great shopping. Pick up souvenirs from the Multiplaza Shopping Center or Albrook Mall; explore the Casco Viejo, the historic part of the city; catch a performance at the National Theater; or visit the Panama Canal.

After a long day of sightseeing, the hotel's facilities will help you relax. Enjoy a traditional Panamanian dish at the on-site La Galeria Restaurant, then grab a nightcap at the Memories Sports Bar & Lounge. Sweat it out at the fitness center followed by a dip in the outdoor pool.
