A few FAQs since I will not be making a formal guide or tips video on Panama City:
➢ For transportation, we either walked or used Uber! Uber was really easy to use and affordable.
➢ Panama's original currency is the Balboa, but since 1 Balboa = 1 USD, USD is widely used here. Balboa is also only in coins now, no bills.
➢ I didn't find the need to make reservations for a lot of restaurants, even the nicer ones, so just something to note. But I still recommend it if you can.
➢ I went in Sept and the weather was hot and HUMID! Make sure you bring clothing with light material, and if you plan on doing any day trips to the rainforest, you may even need to do laundry at some point. We got an Airbnb that had laundry included, so that was easy for us.
➢ Know a little bit of Spanish before you go!! (I say this all the time)
