City, they think of the towering skyscrapers and luxury high-rises that punctuate the city\u2019s northern end.<\/p>\n<p>The true cultural heart of Panama City, however, lies in Casco Viejo, which is Spanish for \u201cOld Quarter\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The nearly 350-year-old historic district of Panama City has been re-imagined and re-invented, filled with incredible restaurants, posh hotels (including the American Trade!), and luxury boutiques.<\/p>\n<p>Although modern delights are present throughout, Casco Viejo still preserves Panama\u2019s rich history, particularly in the district\u2019s \u201cplaza\u201d design (town squares that feature wide, open spaces along with stunning flora) as well as several notable churches \u2013 my particular favorite is Arco Chato, a ruin that is both a

it.<\/p>\n<p>Once on the northern coast, various boating services will shuttle you among the islands, where sailing, snorkeling, and seeing legitimately GIANT starfish are just some of the activities you can enjoy among the islands.<\/p>\n<p>Just make sure you bring plenty of sunscreen, as shade is remarkably scarce throughout San Blas!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Learn More About Our Planet at the
