Downtown Panama City

City centre Panama City balances historic charm with waterfront beauty along St. Andrews Bay. The Victorian-era McKenzie House and brick-faced Martin Theatre showcase the area's rich past.

Quiet mornings watching boats drift by and the perfect launch spot for kayaking adventures.
