Panama Canal

(Source: Panama City)

An absolute must if you're in Panama City. The easiest and cheapest way is to go to the Miraflores locks, watch the huge boats go by and visit its very modern and informative visitor's center with a museum, a movie theater and a fancy restaurant (USD25 for the lunch buffet). A one way cab to Miraflores locks should cost around 6 USD. By metrobus from Albrook, every hour, for $0.25, from 6:00am to 5:00pm. Last bus leaves Miraflores at 5:00pm. You can also take a (25 USD - one way) luxury train along the canal to Colón, or obviously take a boat! Prices Miraflores locks and museum: adults $15, students $10. Come in the morning (9-10am) as majority of ships go through locks at this time. You can also re-enter museum with the same ticket if you missed the show and will want to visit it later in the day.
