When we think of Panama, we think of modern, tall buildings with an amazing skyline. But Panama City also has an old side! Visiting the Old Town of Panama City is like stepping back in time. The cute narrow streets, colorful colonial houses, and also the well-preserved historic buildings make a good walking tour! The area is home to some cafes, museums, galleries, and restaurants. It is also the most popular area to stay in as it has great nightlife with a number of good rooftop bars The Old Town is also a UNESCO World Heritage site, and a great place to learn about Panama's rich cultural heritage and history. It is also one of the safest neighborhoods so definitely a great pick to stay in! #panama

What is Panama after the establishment of diplomatic relations with China?

In April, Panama began to enter the rainy season, and it rained from time to time to cool down.

#AroundTheWorld [🇵🇦Panama City]transit . Arrived in Panama early in the morning. We got on the bus and headed for the old town. The sunrise seen from the old town and the cityscape of the new town seen in the distance were a group of skyscrapers that were different from what I had imagined Panama to be. There were boats floating about everywhere, and people fishing, and the contrast with the new town created an indescribable emotional feeling. Panama panama

#Immigration-related information Overall, I felt it was relatively strict. Instead of an automatic gate, they even checked the name of the hotel where I was staying. There were drug detection dogs, and they tested everyone one by one. If you have nothing to hide, there's nothing to worry about, but it's better to book a hotel before entering the country. When you arrive at the airport, you need to fill out an arrival card before entering the country. The immigration card is located behind you on the left as you face the immigration booth. However, not many people enter the country, and since it's mainly a transit airport, it's not very crowded.

📍 Itinerary Overview : take the metro which becomes a skytrain at some stations - you can it to or from the airport 🚩 Sightseeing Route: visit the national park, you can see toucans and sloths! different area of Panama city are worth visiting. casco viejo and the downtown district 🏖️ Must-Visit Attractions: go see the shore and the park 🚇 Transportation: Bus and metro are easy to take, taxis as well. just ask for the price of the taxi before 📷 Photo Spots 🍜 Local Cuisine 🏠 Accommodation 1.Canova 💡 Tips

Panama🇵🇦, a country located on the isthmus connecting Central America and South America. It is known to Japanese people as the country with the Panama Canal, an important transport route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. I will share the information when I traveled to Panama at the end of December 2024✍️ ✈️Destination Panama Tocumen International Airport 🎟️Visa If Japanese people enter Panama for tourism purposes, a visa or tourist card is not required for 90 days or less. 📝Entry requirements You must possess the following↓ A. Passport with a remaining validity of 3 months or more at the time of entry B. Return air ticket, etc. C. Cash equivalent to 500 US dollars or more (Note: You must prove that you have funds during your stay) 🌏Travel to and from Colombia Air travel is recommended for travel to and from Colombia. The border area with Colombia is a dense jungle area that is not adequately monitored by security authorities, and armed groups repeatedly enter and leave the country to smuggle drugs, etc., so if you travel by land (on foot), you are at risk of being kidnapped or killed by these groups. In addition, due to the increase in foreigners attempting to enter the country illegally from the Colombian side, the border guards in charge of guarding the area are strictly checking foreigners entering the country by land, and if their purpose of entry and personal details are unclear, they will be detained. 🗣️Immigration Inspection At immigration, after showing the inspector my passport and departure ticket, I was asked questions about my purpose, place of stay, and occupation. I had the impression that I was asked quite detailed questions for immigration in Central America. I think it's a good idea to prepare to be able to communicate basic things in English. Panama is a rare country in Latin America, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not issued a travel warning, so it is a relatively safe country to visit. My impression from actually going there was that the infrastructure was well developed and the US dollar was widely used as currency, making the trip extremely comfortable✨ #Entry-related information

🇵🇦Oldies Panama 📍C. Eusebio A. Morales 55, Provincia de Panamá 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: Open bar 💰Price per person: US$25-50 Oldies Panama🍽️ on the first floor of Torres de Alba Hotel & Suites The restaurant and bar has a large wine cellar and is formal, but the outdoor seats have loud music and are casual. If you are eating inside, it is better to dress a little more formally. Other customers wore collared shirts for men and dresses for women, and although there was no dress code, the atmosphere was formal. The menu was mainly Italian and international cuisine, and they also had poke bowls and sushi. They were all delicious and filling, so I was very satisfied. Since it is a restaurant attached to a hotel, you can enjoy your meal without worrying about security. #0 yen trip January 2025
