Museo de la Mola

Reviewed By 329jimmym - Miami, United States

This tiny museum in the heart of the old quarter is a must see on you trip to Panama. It shows the history of the art craft called Mola, created by the indigenous tribes of Guna Yala, formerly San Blas. They display an amazing collection of these works of art and have several interactive displays for the kids to enjoy. Do go and visit this gem, recently opened in Panama City.

Capilla San Jose

Built soon after the first Spanish settlement in the 16th century, this small church features the famous Golden Altar (Altar de Oro), which is made entirely of pure gold.

Reviewed By ebert2013

We enjoyed walking through the church in Old Town. The alter is amazing, covered in gold leaf. The only thing I found odd was that the “prayer candles” were electric! I guess it makes sense when you don’t have someone to monitor an open flame in an old wood church. It was a quiet, cool, contemplative place to visit.

Miraflores Visitor Center

Reviewed By Emibru

A visit to the Miraflores Visitor Center is an experience not to be missed. Other than seeing the ships passing through the locks, and learn about the great engineering behind it, visitors can enjoy the video presentations and the visit to the fascinating Canal history museum.

Teatro Nacional

This gorgeous and majestic National Theater was built in the early 20th century, and still retains its elegant charm. Today, its stage hosts classical music, theater and dance performances—and they’re incredibly affordable. If you can’t make one of the performances, at least make time to check out the beautifully restored and preserved space. 

Reviewed By 97vall - Panama City, Panama

We have lived in Panama for 7 years and the Theater National has been closed for renovated twice in that time - not sure why. However, the most recent renovation is spectacular. Just returned from Ballet Don Quixote performance. They have kept all the 1904/1908 aesthetics, and freshened them up. Now it has improved lighting and excellent sound system when needed. NOTE: The "will call" box office for pick-up of tickets is located on the side (right side as you face the theater) under the colonnade. And the Entrance is located on the opposite side entrance(Left side as you face the theater). The main doors at the front are used for exit at the end of performance not entrance- a good idea for more efficient exit of the crowd.

Biomuseo

Designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry, the Biomuseo is his only work in Latin America and the tropics. The building was designed to tell the story of how the isthmus of Panama rose from the sea, uniting two continents, separating a vast ocean in two, and changing the planet's biodiversity forever.

Reviewed By mayohrm50 - Warwick, United States

This is a great museum to learn about the formation of the isthmus, its evolutionary importance, and the natural history of Panama up to the present day. The exhibits on several floors are state-of-the-art. The museum not only celebrates the wonders of natural life in Panama and its two oceans, it also teaches us about man's impact on the environment, the perils of climate change, and the need to preserve and protect the natural world around us.

Multiplaza Pacific

Reviewed By ERich0010

This is a great mall. It's 4 levels with banks, pharmacies, electronics, designer shops and restaurants... all of the things you'd find in a mall. There are cinemas and book stores. It's full of brand name stores that North Americans will recognize and brand name stores that South Americans will recognize. It's big and bright and clean and a good place to while away some time if you have free time.

Weil Art Gallery

Reviewed By P1368HOkellyt - Palm Springs, United States

The gentleman and his son who own this art gallery are the nicest guys ever. I searched all over the city for real artwork, and everything is full of cheesy souvenir stuff. Until I discovered this gallery, and the authentic hand made paintings and sculptures and a variety of art forms can be found, I bought an original tapestry. I just love it! Do not miss this place! For those of you who do not want cheesy goofy souvenirs of Panama, you must go to this place!

The history of the Church is fascinating. We spent 30 minutes inside and an hour would have been better. Not to be missed.
