Panama City Free Walking Tour

At the indicated time, we'll meet at a central spot in Panama City to begin this free tour of the old town in Panama City.

Our first stop will be in front of the Santa María la Antigua Cathedral, a temple crowned by two bell towers decorated with mother-of-pearl inlays. Its façade is full of classical and Renaissance elements carved into the stone.

We'll walk along the central streets of the city and see the San José Church to admire a valuable gem: the Altar de Oro. This Churrigueresque altarpiece from the 18th century is made of mahogany wood and covered in gold.

The tour will continue to the Santo Domingo Church to admire the Arco Chato, an 18th-century structure that used to support the old choir of the parish. We'll continue our route to the Plaza Francia, where seven vaulted spaces that formed part of the city's defences can be seen.

Finally, after 2 hours and 15 minutes to 3 hours, we'll conclude the activity at a central spot in Panama City.
