- JanNottingham, UK36 contributionsInteresting film-well worth watching.
Good to experience a ship passing through the canal.

The trains are frequent, clean, and on time.
the system is a little crowded during rush hour as everyone ones to use it.Written 13 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Nice to know the non - USA views locally.
I only wish there was more English language explanation of displays.
Good exhibits.
Seems uninteresting at some stages.
Can take photos and videos, without flashes.Written 11 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The young woman in the cafe was doing a sterling job on her own serving a huge queue and with a smile.
Very informative. The gardens are lovely with much birdlife around the lily ponds.Written 24 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It has a wide variety of stores with literally all your needs from shoes, to clothes, accessories, household appliances, groceries, food, you name it.
My only wish would have been to encounter more folks/store clerks who knew a bit of English. Otherwise shopping here was good.Written 11 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Study the mall web site before you go to orient yourself. No physical maps that I am aware of but info desks in the mall have cell phone scannable info image linkWritten 6 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- IlyaNJMarlboro, NJ944 contributionsAn interesting church whose main feature is the remarkable Golden Altar. If you come around Christmastime, you can also see an altogether the most incredible Nativity display.Written 5 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PMDMAOttawa, Canada111 contributionsWe were walking through the square and saw people standing outside so we walked over. There were other people standing in the square offering to be a tour guide that you could hire, but we did not, so I can not comment on that. The location is no cost to visit, but there are donation boxes if you feel you would like to leave anything. The location is beautiful with air conditioning to refresh yourself from the heat outside. There are displays which describe specific key moments. It was an accidental stop, but we were glad we ended up here since we wouldn’t have gone all the way here only for this. It was about a 10 to 15 minute visit, but very impressive.Written 4 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TravelingSoccerLoonSaint Paul, MN2,446 contributionsRuins of the original settlement near Panama City destroyed by the pirate Henry Morgan in the 1600's. Nice strolling amongst the ruins and climbing to the top of the church tower. Museum was closed due to Covid when I visited. Allow 1-2 hr for the visit. If you're short on time, Casco Viejo, Miraflores Locks and a trip to Monkey Island on Gatun lake should all be a priority over a visit here. $15 entrance fee.Written 18 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- IlyaNJMarlboro, NJ944 contributionsAn atmospheric church with many interesting details, not least the narrow wooden support columns. One of the can't-miss churches in Casco Viejo.Written 5 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Carli MCanada246 contributionsThis is a free fun museum that will only take about 30 to 60 mins. It's small. But it is very good. Very detailed explanation about the Mola culture in Panama.Written 21 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TravelingSoccerLoonSaint Paul, MN2,446 contributionsBeautiful building located in Casco Viejo. Only viewed from the outside but I suspect seeing a performance here would be amazing.Written 19 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cynthia S4 contributionsThis is a wonderful art gallery/ museum. Carlos was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He told us many things about Panamanian art, artists and history in a very relaxed manner. This is a place were you can relax and enjoy many types of artwork in addition to paintings there are also sculptures, carvings and textiles. In my opinion this is a place you wouldn’t want to miss while in Panama City!Written 17 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- froglagSpokane, WA1,354 contributionsBeautiful church steeple with stain glass windows that are beautiful. Definitely take a moment out of the day touring Casco Viejo to take a look.Written 6 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- gatormotherof2Washington DC, DC399 contributionsSince I was staying in Casco Viejo, it was a logical stop along the way one day. The interiors are far more attractive than that of the exterior, so don’t let the outside fool you.Written 19 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
