About Panama City for Solo Travelers

A city of two centuries — futuristic skyscrapers behind a UNESCO colonial old town, bisected by the world's most important engineering wonder. Solo travelers watch tankers squeeze through the Canal and find some of Latin America's finest solo dining.

Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly

Panama City has two extraordinary faces for solo travelers — the Casco Viejo colonial district (UNESCO listed, extremely walkable and safe) and the futuristic Miraflores Locks Canal viewpoint. The city is remarkably safe and developed. The metro is excellent. Watching a mega-ship squeeze through the Canal locks is one of the most remarkable free engineering spectacles in the world. The Biomuseo (Frank Gehry designed) is world-class solo.
