Finding exciting things to see and do in Panama is the easy part.
Finding the time to experience them all before your stay is up is a different story, however.
Although visitors to Panama City will find their itinerary filling up quickly, there are a handful of man-made sites that are likely to jump out and take priority.
Here are four that travelers can't afford to miss.
Consider visiting the Miraflores Locks. In addition to observation decks, the visitor center here offers a movie theater and exhibition halls where guests can learn about the canal and its history. There's also a restaurant and gift shop where visitors can conclude their trip.
The unique office building stretches nearly 800 feet into the air.
Designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry—his first project for Latin America—the museum is only four years old but has already established itself as one of Panama City's premier attractions.
Whether viewing from the ground, sky or touring inside, this sacred structure is certain to leave visitors in awe.
