Panama City is not what I expected. I imagined I would be transported back in time (like Cuba) to an old fashioned bustling city where all the men wore Panama hats. I didn't expect a modern, commercial centre full of banks and shopping plazas.
Having said that the colonial Casco Antiguo (old quarter) is reminiscent of a rundown neighbourhood in Havana, and is one of the more interesting parts of the city. Some of the area is under restoration but much of it is dilapidated and full of crumbling buildings.
