Aquamarine water laps at the shore beneath your feet. Cloud forests envelop the mountains towering above your head. Travelers head out on horseback riding adventures on all sides, and rivers, and lagoons dot every available bit of landscape. When it comes to things to do in Panama, the options literally surround you. The best Panama excursions conjure a certain remote charm, and you’ll find this undiscovered atmosphere in nearly every tourist area. Bocas del Toro is by far the most bustling, but the Panama activities in this region focus on the serene natural wonders. Explore the diving and snorkeling spots here, and then head to Bastimentos Island for a surfing adventure. When you're looking for must see places on the Panama map, these are the areas you simply can’t miss. If you’re yearning for a more urban getaway, however, make a beeline for the local attractions in Panama City. Home to the internationally famous Panama Canal, this Central American metropolis offers an array of top sightseeing opportunities. Stroll the streets of the historic Casco Viejo district, explore the ruins of the Panama Viejo, or climb to the top of Miraflores for a stunning view. City-loving travelers will also fall in love with the charming village of El Valle de Anton and the spa-studded central Cocle, but adventure seekers may want to head straight for Boquete; this cloud-forested city is situated just outside the Volcan Baru and Quetzal Trail, and it’s one of the best spots to witness the unspoiled landscape. Book one of the Panama tours through the area for the full experience. You won’t want to miss a bit of the area’s beauty. --- - ![find price illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__find_price.svg) ### Explore activities Explore thousands of experiences from activities and attractions to day tours and transfer. - ![calendar shield illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__calendar_shield.svg) ### Book with ease Skip the line- book tickets online in minutes to top attractions with free cancellation on many activities. - ![trophy illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__trophy.svg) ### Treat yourself Members save % or more when you book activities. --- ## Recommended things to do in Panama City | Number of things to do | 43 | | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Cheapest thing to do on Expedia | [Fear at the Pier Haunted Attraction](/things-to-do/fear-at-the-pier-haunted-attraction.a46405212.activity-details): CA $35 | | Top 5 things to do | [From Panama City, FL: Shell Island Ferry](/things-to-do/from-panama-city-fl-shell-island-ferry.a47984319.activity-details)[Sunset Cruise with Good Jibez Only in Panama City Beach](/things-to-do/sunset-cruise-on-the-isla-girl-in-panama-city-beach.a48971661.activity-details)[Panama City Beach Sunset Catamaran Sail on The Privateer](/things-to-do/panama-city-beach-sunset-catamaran-sail-on-the-privateer.a1243809.activity-details)[Original CRUISIN TIKIS 3 Hour Cruise, Snorkel, Swim/float Sandbar](/things-to-do/small-group-3-hours-tiki-cruise-tour-from-panama.a46372678.activity-details)[Panama City Beach Sunset Sail on The Footloose Catamaran](/things-to-do/panama-city-beach-sunset-sail-on-the-footloose-catamaran.a1243816.activity-details) | | Half-day tours | [From Panama City, FL: Shell Island Ferry](/things-to-do/from-panama-city-fl-shell-island-ferry.a47984319.activity-details)[Sunset Cruise with Good Jibez Only in Panama City Beach](/things-to-do/sunset-cruise-on-the-isla-girl-in-panama-city-beach.a48971661.activity-details)[Panama City Beach Sunset Catamaran Sail on The Privateer](/things-to-do/panama-city-beach-sunset-catamaran-sail-on-the-privateer.a1243809.activity-details)[Original CRUISIN TIKIS 3 Hour Cruise, Snorkel, Swim/float Sandbar](/things-to-do/small-group-3-hours-tiki-cruise-tour-from-panama.a46372678.activity-details)[Panama City Beach Sunset Sail on The Footloose Catamaran](/things-to-do/panama-city-beach-sunset-sail-on-the-footloose-catamaran.a1243816.activity-details) | | With kids | [From Panama City, FL: Shell Island Ferry](/things-to-do/from-panama-city-fl-shell-island-ferry.a47984319.activity-details)[Sunset Cruise with Good Jibez Only in Panama City Beach](/things-to-do/sunset-cruise-on-the-isla-girl-in-panama-city-beach.a48971661.activity-details)[Panama City Beach Sunset Catamaran Sail on The Privateer](/things-to-do/panama-city-beach-sunset-catamaran-sail-on-the-privateer.a1243809.activity-details)[Panama City Beach Sunset Sail on The Footloose Catamaran](/things-to-do/panama-city-beach-sunset-sail-on-the-footloose-catamaran.a1243816.activity-details)[Panama City Beach: Sunset Sail on the Privateer Catamaran](/things-to-do/panama-city-beach-sunset-catamaran-cruise.a44627398.activity-details) | ## What to do in Panama City --- ### Discover the most popular places to visit in Panama City ![Tyndall Air Force Base](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/2/83a3253b4f68bad73d837cb261df6e76.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Tyndall Air Force Base Tyndall Air Force Base is just one of the places to see in Panama City, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels?
