This is the most interesting part of Panama City and one of the most

dangerous. The old town is currently being restored and there are some magnificent pristine colonial buildings standing against derelict houses and burnt-out churches. Must-sees are the very pretty Plaza de Francia, with its harbourside walk, Plaza Independencia, the wreck of the Club de Clases y Topas, where Noriega used to spend his time, the grand Teatro Nacional, the presidential Palacio de las Garzas (Palace of the Herons) and several churches. It is best to walk in the morning and stay east of the Plaza Independencia or take a tourist taxi from any hotel. Take taxis in this area at night.

Cost/Getting There

 Walk or $20 for taxi tour
