Casco Viejo (Old Quarter) is Panama City's UNESCO World Heritage historic district, a peninsula of colonial and neoclassical architecture undergoing dramatic restoration. The community is a unique mix of long-established Panamanian families in unrenovated buildings, affluent international residents in restored properties, artists, and boutique hotel operators. The area has become Panama's cultural and culinary epicenter.
The seawall promenade (Cinta Costera) provides a waterfront walking and cycling path. Plaza de Francia and the Paseo de las Bovedas offer seaside relaxation. Small plazas throughout the district.
Casco Viejo is one of Panama's few walkable neighborhoods. The compact district is navigable on foot.
Small markets and specialty shops in the district. Super 99 and Riba Smith supermarkets a short drive away. The Mercado de Mariscos (seafood market) nearby is a local treasure.
The best weather — sunny, lower humidity, 28-33C. The Pacific breeze reaches the peninsula. Outdoor dining and rooftop bars at their peak.
