    Few months ago I and my friends went to Panama for enjoying some days there. We got great fun there and enjoy all the days. We stay there few days and got nice services from our hotel service provider and I think our selection of hotel is also one of the reasons, which made our tour happier. Panama vacation is our one of the best vacation.

    Hi there,

    I spent two months in Panama last year, mostly in and around Panama City and in Bocas del Toro (the group of islands in North East Panama in the Caribbean).

    I would say that Panama in general is a safe country, there are only a few areas in Panama City that should be avoided, but this is probably true in most larger cities around the globe. The city I would avoid is Colon because it is not exactly safe there, and there's really nothing to see. The currrency in Panama is the U.S. Dollar, and the cost of living including vacationing is pretty inexpensive. Panama also has a good health care system, nothing to worry about in that department either.

    Panama has a lot to offer, from the beaches on the Atlantic and the Pacific, the mountains, as well as the jungle (Panama has the largest rainforest in Central America). I spent one month in Panama City alone because there's so much to see / do in and around the city. Panama City is one of the largest financial centers in the world, and the skyline is almost like Manhattan.
