Casco Antiguo & Panama Viejo - Historic Panama City Tour

Discover the rich history of Panama City and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of its oldest districts. The Casco Antiguo & Panama Viejo tour is a journey through time, where you’ll explore colonial heritage and the origins of one of Central America’s most important cities.

Your walk begins in Casco Antiguo, also known as Casco Viejo – the historic district listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the very first moment, this area captivates with its charm: cobbled streets, colourful buildings and lively plazas create a truly unique setting. Established in 1673 after the destruction of the original city, it still preserves its distinctive character. As you explore, you’ll discover picturesque corners, historic churches and landmarks that tell the story of colonial Panama. It’s the perfect opportunity to feel the rhythm of the city, admire its architecture and understand its significance through the centuries. Next, you’ll visit Panama Viejo – the ruins of the original settlement founded in 1519. This is where the story of Panama City began. Walking among the remains of ancient structures, you’ll learn about dramatic events from the past, including the pirate attack that led to the city’s destruction and the creation of Casco Antiguo.
