Planning Your Visit
When should I visit?
The high season in Panama, when the weather is most pleasant, is December to April. This period has the least rain, but can also be the busiest. Carneval, which takes place 40 days before Easter, is another popular and vibrant time to visit the city. Book accommodation well in advance and come prepared to dance!
Backpacking Panama
South America is a popular destination with backpackers, who are well-served in Panama by many hostels, cheap food, and heaps of culture to explore. Visit the islands for total relaxation, and to make those working away back home very jealous.
Get your groove on
Can't dance, won't dance? You haven't yet been to Panama City! Take a taxi to the three key areas of Panama City nightlife - the business district, Casca Viejo, and the Amador Causeway.

What people are saying about Panama City
Our guide, Mario, was excellent. I admit I was not sure there would be much to see outside of the canal and the downtown, but it is a truly remarkable city. Mario showed us the many recreational areas and points of interest. Had a really great time.
Everything was amazing. The driver was very friendly and knowledgeable. Made our ride fantastic. The zipline was beautiful and the people were also amazing. It was one of the best trips we have taken. Thank you!
