Skyline of Panama
Is Panama safe? A regular question we get at Auragens as patients consider treatment options. Our neighbor to the north, Costa Rica, get’s most of the tourist buzz but in reality, Panama is a paradise unto its own. With more flora and fauna than Costa Rica and an infrastructure that was built by the United States, and still uses the US Dollar, Panama is a gem still hidden in plain sight.
Panama City, the capital of Panama, is widely regarded as one of the safest and most cosmopolitan cities in Central America. With its well-maintained infrastructure, modern amenities, and a proactive police presence, the city offers a secure environment for residents, tourists, and business travelers. The government has invested significantly in security measures, particularly in key areas like Casco Viejo, the historic district, and the financial district, ensuring these popular spots remain safe for everyone. Panama City’s safety record makes it an attractive destination for expatriates and international businesses seeking a stable base in the region. And with over 30 cities in the USA flying direct to Panama daily, it is also very convenient.
The beauty of Panama City is striking, blending the old with the new. The skyline is dominated by modern skyscrapers, reflecting the city’s status as a global financial hub. Yet just a short distance away, the colonial architecture of Casco Viejo tells the story of Panama’s rich history. The city’s coastal location adds to its appeal, offering stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, especially from the Cinta Costera, a scenic coastal road and park popular with both locals and visitors. Nearby, the Panama Canal, one of the world’s most significant engineering feats, not only contributes to the city’s economy but also serves as a major tourist attraction. And from the 48th floor of Auragens our patients have the opportunity to take it all in from a bird’s eye view.
