    Very pretty architecture contrasting with nature. Would be more pleasant to walk around if cars were not allowed in these streets though.

    The place was very nice, and all the people around was friendly and helpful. You could heard the birds chirping while seating on the benches admire the antique buildings and relax. Is close to restaurants and shops.

    Great place, look out for chiggers and ticks though. Bring ear plugs if you stay in the tree house. Lovely, but the stream will keep you up.

    Plaza in Casco Viejo to commemorate Simon Bolívar, the Liberator of Latin America. In the center of this Plaza his monument was placed.

  • 5/5 Andrés D. Suzzarini P. 6 years ago on Google • 89 reviews
    Very small and nice plaza honoring Simon Bolivar. A perfect place to sit down, eat and stay a while enjoy the peaceful area of this part of Casco Antiguo. Nice hotel and decent restaurants around the square. Surely worth visiting.

    Nice place to walk. Next to San Francisco church and some restaurants. If you want a great coffee, go to Nina Peñuela. Is a boutique with beautiful and original designs but they also run a coffee shop. Is in a corner of the Plaza.

    Beautiful, safe place for Tucktaway in the corner of old town. Large police presence so you’re super safe. In fact, there’s no reason to be worried at all in this whole neighborhood. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Can’t recommend enough.

  • 5/5 Athee 5 years ago on Google
    Stunning cathedral in the old town of Panama City. Gorgeous carvings with great detail. A true baroque feel in the symmetry and lighting. There is a viewpoint near here that allows you to see the skyline of Panama. View the contrast of the city right in front of your eyes. Old and new, which one do you prefer ?

  • 5/5 2Gypsies P. 1 year ago on Google
    You have a few restaurants to choose from around the Plaza and if you enjoy history or taking photos you will enjoy spending time here. Take your time to walk around and explore, a limited time will not do justice to this beautiful Plaza.

  • 5/5 Geuvera P. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a nice plaza by the presidential palace, so don't try to go past the guards. Nice restaurants, if a bit overpriced, with some nice areas to sit and people watch. On the corner by the Casa Blanca restaurant is a small church that is more intimate.

  • 4/5 Marvin h. 2 months ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    UNESCO heritage site brings a mix of new and old. An above average amount of locally crafted souvenirs and great local food, beer and coffee. Not to be missed if you are in the area.
