PANAMA CITY, PANAMA THINGS TO DO! (Panama Canal & Casco Viejo)
Panama City, Panama is an AMAZING city full of so many things to do! In our last Panama City Video we did a complete overview of the city including Panama Viejo. In this Panama Travel Vlog we are taking you to one of the most popular neighborhoods in Panama City, Casco Viejo. We are also going to show you The Bridge of the Americas, head to the Miraflores Locks Visitors Center to view the Panama Canal, as well as bike down The Amador Causeway. Panama City, Panama is a great travel destination and a wonderful city to base yourself. We hope this Panama City Travel Guide helps you plan your next trip to the city! #panamacity #panama
