1. Panama Canal
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 18,620 reviews
Operating since 1914 and considered one of the wonders of the world, this fifty-mile waterway transports ships by raising them from sea level to more than 85 feet via a series of gravity-powered locks.

We went through the Panama Canal on the Norwegian Bliss and it was a great experience, marvellous to see this engineering marvel and learn more about it’s history. The early history is soo sad when thousands of workers died from Scarlet Fever when the French tried to build it many years ago but gave the idea away. It is a very slow process and takes all day to get through, once through the first lock the others are all the same so it may become boring for many. It is one of the worlds marvels so do it if you can but don’t expect too much excitement
2. Amador Causeway (Calzada de Amador)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4,130 reviews
Located at the southern entrance of the Panama Canal and stretching nearly three kilometers into the Pacific Ocean, this popular causeway features many tourist-related venues and activities including hotels, restaurants, and jogging and biking trails.

A must see when visiting Panama. The Amador is a great walk/bike or drive with amazing views of Panama City and ocean. Multiple restaurants, shops and breath taking vistas are all within reach and a treat for the senses. Rent a bike and cruise the Causeway, grab an ice cream cone and watch the ships sail by. What could be better?
3. Capilla San Jose

4.5 based on 664 reviews
Built soon after the first Spanish settlement in the 16th century, this small church features the famous Golden Altar (Altar de Oro), which is made entirely of pure gold.
Reviewed By ebert2013
We enjoyed walking through the church in Old Town. The alter is amazing, covered in gold leaf. The only thing I found odd was that the “prayer candles” were electric! I guess it makes sense when you don’t have someone to monitor an open flame in an old wood church. It was a quiet, cool, contemplative place to visit.
4. Casco Viejo
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 11,610 reviews
This charming old community’s churches, pedestrian walkways and historical plazas and palaces make it a must-see on any tour.
Reviewed By WarrenCWade - Belleville, Canada
They’re continuing to renew this old part and it is probably the most tourist packed part of PTY. Many good restaurants and bars, both ground level and rooftop for evening views especially, museums, squares with entertainment, churches, and local craftsman selling their wares. Highly recommended for a day of sightseeing/shopping local Gina wares (Mola), and food/drink.
5. Avenida Balboa

Reviewed By ArtSchmall - Margate, United States
We rode on Avenida Balboa several times on our Panama vacation. We took a guided tour of of the Panama Canal, as well as two days on the hop on, hop off bus tour, and Avenida Balboa was an important part of the experience. There are numerous places to take photos of the city skyline, as well as many interesting buildings in the Casco Viejo section and the downtown part of the city. We passed several famous statues along the way that we also photographed.
6. Bahai Temple

Reviewed By B3168GQrr
This Baha’i House of worship has a peaceful, tranquil and spiritual energy which allows all to meditate with their Creator. We found people of many faiths communing with the Lord in silent contemplation!
7. Cinta Costera
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,769 reviews
Reviewed By riespoldervaart - Panama City, Panama
I walked the Cinta Costera plus Amador. Take an uber to Placa de la Democracia at Punta Paitilla. From there you can walk all the way to the end where the soccer stadium Maracaná is. Walking along Cinta Costera 3 around Casco Viejo is very nice. From Maracaná I walked along the main road for a while ( no pavement ) and then turned left towards Avenida Amador. A bit further along that road I turned right towards the Raddisson hotel. There you can start the walkway all the way to Isla Flamenco. You can take the public bus back to Albrook Metro station.
