About This Tour
Step back in time on our signature free walking tour through the cobblestone streets of Casco Viejo — Panama City's UNESCO-listed historic quarter. Founded in 1673 after the original city was razed by the pirate Henry Morgan, Casco Viejo is a living archive of colonial architecture, baroque churches, crumbling ruins and colourful facades.
Your expert local guide will walk you through the neighbourhood's most iconic landmarks — Plaza de Francia, the Metropolitan Cathedral, the ruins of the old Santo Domingo church and the sea walls with views across the Bay of Panama. Every corner has a story, and we know them all.
The free colonial walk is the perfect starting point for first-time visitors and a favourite among those who return to go deeper. Tips are warmly welcomed and fuel the next great story.
