A date with Panama from 400 years ago! A secluded archaeological site awaits you.

Panama Viejo in Panama City is a must-see! As a history buff, I was amazed when I first saw this site! Walking quietly among the ruins of a Spanish colony from 400 years ago, I felt like I had traveled back in time. ⛱️Must-see attractions: - Cathedral Tower (a must-climb! It's the highest point of the site and offers a panoramic view of the entire site) - Convent of Santo Domingo (great for photos, the floor tiles are very unique) - Site Museum (a must-see to learn about Panamanian history, with Chinese audio guides) - Plaza Mayor (the center of the site, with many important buildings around it) 🌄Travel tips: 📍Address: Via Cincuentenario, Panama City, Panama ⏰Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday 8:30 am–4:30 pm (closed on Mondays) 🎫Tickets: $15 for adults, $10 for students - Arrive before 9 am to avoid the midday sun - The entire site takes 2–3 hours to visit - Remember to bring sunscreen, as there is little shade in the site area 🏨Accommodation tips: Highly recommend the Casco Viejo area near the old town: - Safe environment and great atmosphere - Close to the sea, you can take a walk in the evening - Many restaurants and cafes nearby - Convenient transportation, about 15 minutes by taxi to the site 💗Other tips: - Be sure to hire a guide! There are many fascinating historical details - The museum has lockers where you can store large bags - Wear comfortable sneakers, as the site is large and requires a lot of walking - Bring a water bottle, as there are drinking water stations in the site - Download the Maps.me offline map, as the signal is not very good in the site - There are many popular restaurants nearby, you can check out the Coca-Cola Cafe - Remember to buy postcards, the postcards in the site store are very unique! This is a place that will make you linger! Standing in the ancient ruins and feeling the prosperity of 400 years ago is really amazing! You must visit Panama!
