Panama City’s Casco Viejo district was founded in 1674 after Pirate Captain Henry Morgan ransacked and burned down the original location. This developed into a beautiful Spanish colonial town which was then abandoned over time as residents moved into modern Panama City. A little over ten years ago, much of this area was still in ruins and many of the parts you can now walk through today were former dangerous “red zones.”

The Casco Viejo that you walk through today is safe and charming. Many of the deteriorating buildings have been restored to their former glory and are filled with cafes, street art, and new brick streets. You’ll find that it’s peaceful and quiet during the day and then comes alive at night once all of Panama City’s locals head to visit Casco’s trendy rooftop bars and epic parties.

As a visitor to Panama City, I recommend staying in this neighborhood if you can (most people that didn’t wish they had). The great thing about staying here is that you also have an array of stuff to do within a 12 block radius. And luckily as a visitor, you can feel like a local by staying in an apartment in this charming neighborhood. Staying in an apartment has an array of benefits like a full kitchen, larger space, and it’s usually a lot cheaper than a hotel room (but you will have to make your own bed in the morning). Here are the most gorgeous apartments available in Casco Viejo that you can actually stay in and get a glimpse of what life is like in the historic district.
