Dario’s Guidebook to Panama City
Food scene
This place has some of the best barbecue I have tasted. The cook is really friendly and they often have something special in-season for you to try. Make a phone call before you go and ask about their open times and what dishes they have. Since it's barbecue, cooking times may affect availability.

Family run and very quiet. This restaurant is a great find. The service is speedy and it's usually not full so you get great attention. The prices are nice and affordable. All natural food, cooked to taste.

Sightseeing
Cinta Costera is a great place to go for a walk and catch some sights. Locals love to come here to workout, run, bike, skate and just take in some sea breeze. The place is accessible from the city, a short walk from Cinco de Mayo metro station, and leads right into Casco Viejo (the historic district).

Great workout to go up the hill. You may want to book someone to pick you up in advance as you will work up quite a sweat. Amazing views of the city.

Local Parks
This is a nice place to come to in the morning and workout, maybe walk your dog, or spend some time with the kids. Sometimes there are dance or yoga classes. Nice 3.5 km jogging trail with a decent level of challenge.

Consejos sobre la ciudad
Cómo moverse
Uber is pretty reliable and affordable.
Uber is your best bet for getting around. Also they tend to know different spots to go to, so don't hesitate to ask questions. If you want to ride the public transport make sure to purchase a card at the airport or the nearest metro station and keep around $5 in it just in case.
Formas de ahorrar
Students pay reduced prices for the Canal and Biomuseum! Ask
At most museums or learning experiences, ask if students get a discount. If you have a student card you may get some savings.
