deseo saber que hoteles tienen mejor ubicacion de los centros comerciales y a que distancia se encuentran del aeropuerto.
gracias
Tocumen Airport is east of the city some distance, one can take public transit to the centre of Panama City. There are some hotels near the airport that are less expensive than in the city centre. You have to decide what is better, to stay nearer the airport or nearer the city centre. The Diablos Rojos buses are cheap and easy to take, they run all the time and go everywhere. But they don't go on the airport. At Albrook Mall is the main transit centre. There one can take buses to all points in Panama and in the city. Depending on the level of comfort, is what you will pay. Cheaper buses are very spartan and have no amenities. The plusher buses are more costly. I can give you more directions if you decide if you want to be closer to the city centre or nearer the airport.
That question is a little bit vague. Somebody could send you to the Zona Libre which is about 1.5 hours from the airport and 2 hours from the City. I guess you're not only traveling for shopping... Please provide more information on where you'll be traveling or the main purpose of your trip so we can provide you with an adecquate answer.
Good Luck.
Amigo, Panama es pequeño asi que practicamente todos los hoteles estan cerca de por lo menos 2 Centro Comerciales
Ave Central, Albrook Mall, Centro Comercial Los Andes, Centro Comercial El Dorado, Los Pueblos en Juan Diaz son los mas economicos
Algunos comercios en Via España y los Centros Comerciales Multiplaza y Multicentro en Paitilla son mas caros.
El aeropuerto esta como a 25 min. de centro de la Ciudad de Panama asi que la mayoria de los Centros Comerciales estan a esa distancia o menos. El mas cercano al aeropuerto es Los Pueblos en Juan Diaz como a 12 minutos del aeropuerto. (claro el tiempo puede variar en horas pico de 12min. a 30 min. approx.)
En mi opinion el mejor Mall es Albrook Mall esta como a 10-15min. de cualquier hotel en la ciudad.
Buena Suerte!
Buena suerte,
todos los hoteles en Pmá. tienen buena ubicación, excepto Riande Aeropuerto... De todos modos, en Pmá. puedes tomar un taxi, que por lo general no cuestan más de $ 2.00... aeropuerto a centro de ciudad de Panamá cuesta $.16.00 (al menos a un nacional, a un extranjero no tengo idea, pero no debe pasar de $.20.00...
Por hotel no existe problema en Pmá... todos en el área bancaria... si está fuera del área bancaria igual estarás muy centrico...
Polleras aren't complete unless they have the pearl-laden headpieces displayed here. They are also ornamented with gold. These are very costly and families hand them down from generation-to-generation. Often families rent these headpieces out to augment their income. There are many parades and festivals in Panama, so there are many opportunities to rent these out to the queens and other pollera-wearing women of these local celebrations.
From reading the latest Lonely Planet and from what the hotel managers tell me, taxis to anywhere within Panama City (core area) should be about USD1.50. The US Dollar is used here, at par with the Balboa, no conversion problem whatsoever.
If you go from core to, say, the Causeway, it should be USD5-6.
Same thing from core to the Panama Canal Railway Passenger Station, about 12 kms away.
Hail a cab on the street in front of your hotel, rather than having the hotel call one. The latter takes forever and you'll be watching hundreds of empty cabs speed by while you wait.
I was in the very busy downtown area round 7 pm last night and hailed a cab to get back to my hotel in El Carmen district. It was very safe, the only lil problem was that the cab didn't know how to get on my one-way street and where it was exactly. I had to give him directions to a few landmarks, like the 99 Supermercado close by. I ended up begging him to just leave me at the supermarket and walked home (again, safely... el Carmen is a safe, residential area.)
After reading here and at a few other places, I had high hope for La Casa de las Constillitas. It was a bit of a let down when we visited there in March.
Location is good, right in El Cangrejo, with restaurants left and right. The place now is a bit run down. We sat inside the air con section, decor and up keeps definitely show it's age. Menu as reported is big , huge and interesting to read. Overall the place can be more clean compared to other dining places in the area.
Food... portion good for it's price. About $ 6 for the fish, beer cheap. If you don't mind paying a dollar and 2 more, there are other places with better food.I had fried fish and my wife had fried shrimps.... 6/10 Panamanian standard.
Service OK but a bit slow.
BTW La Cascada ,which owns La Casa de las Constillitas , is closed as we were told by an expat in Bella Vista.
Will not return.
Teaming with people and merchandise, it's fun to go stroll down the pedestrian only part of Av Central and shop with locals. Eat at one of the many cheap, local eateries and lounge in the park Parque Santa Ana
And here, the ship has passed the first lock, and will continue its way until it reaches the other side.
You can see the Panamanian flag on the ship -- all ships entering the Canal must have the Panamanian flag on their mast. I can't quite remember what the other flag meant -- i think it meant that a panamanian pilot was handling the ship, and not the captain of the ship? Something like that....
