Recon Trip - Panama City

3 years ago
Hello to everyone and thank you for this forum and all of the wonderful information on it.

My wife and I are going to Panama City for the purpose of seeing it and considering it for retirement. We want to see what the city and suburbs are like, and gather information; maybe even sell real estate.

QUESTION - we plan on getting an Airbnb and wonder what location in the city would be the most optimal location (which neighborhood or area), if we want to use it as a base to see as much as possible and get a feel for Panama. We will be going for 1 week. We want to see city life and also life in suburbs 20 min away.

Thank you all in advance. We've lived abroad before in Spain, and have traveled a great deal. I speak Spanish fluently, and we currently live in the USA.

Again, we really appreciate you all for being such a wonderful source of information.

Richard
