The city’s port is one of Latin America’s largest for both passengers and cargo, welcoming hundreds of cruise ships annually and providing seamless access to canal transits.

The city is also a major cultural hub. Visitors can admire the modern skyline and skyscrapers, wander the historic Casco Viejo district, and explore world-class museums, theaters, and galleries.
