The old city ..very nice , hold fashioned, good restaurants,bar..
You can feel the real panama in this place .
Absolutely to visit!!

I followed the walking tour from The hop on hop off bus guide. I loved the churches mostly because they were all air conditioned and provided relief from the heat when exploring downtime. I would add that a lot of old town is in ruins but if you stick to the walking tour guide you find some gems. Also try not to go on monday as most of the museums are closed.

We did a tour and worth it. The golden altar amazing. If you want to shop. suggest tour guide point out spots. Price of same items (beautiful masks and baskets) varies wildly from store to store. Old churches and altars the highlight, but amazing food everywhere, too.

Nice old town feel; things to do. But surprised at the number of buildings in disrepair and neglect even at the popular plazas.
