While much of the city is modern and shiny, the old part of Panama City offers an entirely different experience: narrow streets, a wide variety of architecture, and several landmarks that have withstood time.
There is more: the metropolitan Cathedral, with entrances on three sides, other churches, some of which in state of decay, are testimony to the imported European religion as in all former Spanish colonies. Then there is the Bóvedas, vaults where prisoners used to be kept but transformed into a pleasant area to have a stroll with superb views over the coastline and the skyline of modern Panama City. It is here, at the very tip of the peninsula, that you find the monument to the workers and French engineers involved in the construction of that famous feature of Panama: the Panama Canal, as well as the French embassy. An attractive walkway brings you back towards the Casco Viejo. Apart from seeing the sights, just following your nose and strolling around is a great way to explore. The area is quite compact, getting lost is impossible. Just stand still, enjoy life passing by slowly, an old woman looking down from a balcony, an old american car gliding through the streets, people having a chat on the Plaza de la Independencia... There is enough to see and enjoy to keep you busy for a day.
