Rich in history and Caribbean flavour, it is a fascinating city to explore. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its story.\n\nYou will wander the restored plazas and churches of Casco Viejo, hear about pirates, the Spanish gold route and the building of the canal, and take in views of the modern city and the sea. Along the way you will discover the vibrant culture of Panama. Historic and lively, Panama City is a rewarding city to explore on foot.
