巴拿马城的天际线耸立于陆地与海洋的交汇处——市区内有 26 个行政区，人口超过 1,086,990 人（如果包括周边大都市区，人口则超过 2,100,000 人）——而高楼大厦群则标志着巴拿马运河太平洋入口处（巴拿马省）的政治管理、全球金融和海上贸易中心。该城由佩德罗·阿里亚斯·达维拉于 1519 年建立，迅速成为征服印加帝国（1532 年）的远征军的跳板，此后成为运往欧洲的贵金属的主要通道。一个半世纪后，亨利·摩根的进攻（1671 年 1 月 28 日）给早期的定居点带来了一场大火，之后幸存者在附近的半岛上建立了定居点（1673 年 1 月 21 日）。尽管这座重生的城市远远超出了那些废墟的范围，但巴拿马老城现在仍然是一个令人回味的世界遗产，其摇摇欲坠的塔楼吸引着学生和全球游客。
巴拿马城位于热带地区，坐落在一条狭长的地峡上，太平洋碧绿的海水与湿润的雨林边缘在此交汇。大都会自然公园（Parque Natural Metropolitano）——一片沿着运河绵延的原始林冠——是貘、美洲狮和凯门鳄的栖息地，而这里的鸟类则在阳光斑驳的空地上静静地聚集求偶。在运河的太平洋终点站，史密森尼热带研究所（Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute）维护着“滨海展览中心”（Centro de Exhibiciones Marinas），这是一个致力于研究沿海生态学和珊瑚群落的实验室，邀请海洋生物学爱好者前来见证水边繁茂的珊瑚礁系统。工程壮举与森林流域之间的这种密切关系守护了大片丛林，确保了船闸运行所必需的淡水储备：这是人类雄心壮志与近乎原始的荒野的独特融合。
国家主权公园位于巴拿马大都市的西南部，地势起伏，500多条河流纵横交织，贯穿巴拿马内陆。虽然大多数河流源于湍急的山洪，但查格雷斯河和切波河却蜿蜒流淌于城区边界，其水流被水坝拦截，形成了加通湖和马登湖——这两个水库不仅推动着涡轮机的运转，也为运河航运提供了水源。查格雷斯河是流入加勒比海斜坡的约150条支流之一，它形成了一片湖滨，两侧的船闸群则为湖滨增光添彩。与此同时，切波河与300多条流入太平洋盆地的水道一起，将水流输送到水力发电网，为市区和周边的农业社区提供电力。这些河流的不断涌动，时刻提醒着这座城市对周边高地雨水集水区的依赖。
气候规律主宰着首都的日常生活：热带稀树草原每年降雨量约为1900毫米，五月至十二月为雨季，一月至四月为旱季。平均气温保持在27摄氏度（81华氏度）左右，月际变化不大。即使在所谓的旱季，持续的热带辐合带也会使天空笼罩在碎积云中。阳光虽然充足，却仿佛被过滤了一般；城市灯光泛着金色光泽，与石灰岩外墙和白色塔楼相得益彰。这些气候条件滋养了城市网格内成片的翠绿植物，榕树和三角梅在林荫大道和运河边的长廊上繁茂生长。
历史悠久的Casco Viejo（圣费利佩）展现了跨越四个世纪的建筑地层。西班牙殖民时期的教堂与法式联排别墅和加勒比风格的住宅毗邻而立，这些住宅建于二十世纪初运河的繁荣时期。该地区的800栋建筑融合了共和时期的古典主义风格、装饰艺术的繁华以及精巧的铸铁阳台，构成了通往广场的狭窄小巷，广场上回荡着教堂的钟声。该地区的地标建筑包括玻利瓦尔厅、国家剧院（建于1908年）和Las Bóvedas——一个曾经是殖民防御不可或缺的拱形海滨广场。在这里，圣约瑟夫的金色祭坛——在摩根的猛攻期间被藏匿于地下——无声地见证着这座城市的复兴能力。
在卡斯科维耶霍之外，现代化的天际线呈现出超过127个已竣工的高层建筑项目，另有110个项目错落有致地拔地而起。玻璃和钢结构塔楼将阳光反射到海湾对面，营造出城市幻境，起重机臂点缀着地平线。在这片垂直的广阔空间中，百年大桥——因其技术卓越而荣获美国节段桥梁研究所的荣誉——横跨运河周长，连接西岸，缓解了美洲大桥的交通压力。它优雅、简洁的线条与周围的棕榈树相映成趣，既不显露商业的重量，也不显露抗震设计的挑战。
巴拿马城的行政中心贯穿其13个中心区，包括圣安娜区、埃尔乔里略区、贝拉维斯塔区和里奥阿巴霍区。这些区融合成充满活力的住宅街道、市场和广场。银行区占据巴尔博亚大道走廊，至少有80家金融机构在此设有金库和会议室；其中15家服务于当地利益，其余的则服务于离岸账户，这些账户受到宽松的监管以及巴拿马城作为全球资本渠道的作用的影响。律师和会计师在抛光的大理石地板上进行交易，船运代理则负责协调运往地中海港口或东亚市场的货物。服务业延伸到旅游业——从卡斯科维耶霍的温馨精品店到拉丁美洲第一家华尔道夫酒店，各种酒店应有尽有——而乌拉圭街周围的夜生活则蓬勃发展。
卡皮蒂诺斯（Capitalinos）拥有丰富的民族文化，由混血儿（约70%）、西印度和混血民族（14%）、非裔巴拿马人（约6%）、美洲印第安人（6%）以及白人居民（10%）组成。这种多样性在这座城市的多语种声景中回荡——西班牙语与德语、葡萄牙语、阿拉伯语、汉语、希伯来语和英语交织在一起——在咖啡馆和大使馆里都能听到各种语言的声音。美食也反映了这种融合：墨西哥卷饼店与西印度烤饼摊位共享人行道，法式糕点店与粤式点心店竞争。节日庆典中，原住民舞蹈形式与狂欢节游行交相辉映，其节奏如同熙熙攘攘的广场上人群的面容般丰富多彩。
巴拿马老城被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产，它为早期殖民者的野心提供了切实的记录。它曾经是跨大西洋宝藏舰队的枢纽，如今半埋在草丛中，城墙和塔基讲述着快速征服和灾难性毁灭的故事。来自中美洲各地的学生聚集在城门之间，追溯征服者前往印加要塞的路线。教堂、总督府和船运仓库的遗址上都竖立着铭牌，每一处遗址都为这座城市公元一世纪的历史提供了考古碎片。
卡斯科维耶霍 (Casco Viejo) 于 2003 年被联合国教科文组织列入世界遗产名录，这认可了其融合的设计风格及其对海防的集体记忆；其城墙、城门和广场的设计构思源于 1671 年摩根围城战后，旨在防止再次发生袭击。如今，这片防御工事林立，设有政府办公室、画廊和精品酒店，见证着持续的修复工作。环绕老城区的海上公路高架桥 Cinta Costera 3 的建设引发了争议（2012 年的抗议活动担心其失去世界遗产地位），但联合国教科文组织最终重申了该地区的地位。到 2014 年年中，高架桥的延伸重塑了海岸线，将卡斯科的广场与海湾长廊连接起来，同时保留了通往大教堂尖顶的视线。
旅游行程通常从拉斯博韦达斯（Las Bóvedas）开始，那里的桶形拱顶步道延伸至水面，水边点缀着珊瑚斑驳的浅滩。国家文化研究所大楼和毗邻的法国大使馆展现了20世纪早期的城市建筑风格；大教堂广场（Plaza de la Catedral）在新古典主义风格的门廊下，至今仍是午间休憩的场所。附近的国家剧院以其卓越的音响效果而闻名，在拥有800个座位的温馨礼堂里举办演出。在太平洋船闸上，跨洋运河博物馆（Museo del Canal Interceánico）和米拉弗洛雷斯游客中心（Miraflores Visitors Center）则以工程学为主题，并配备了模拟器，让新手能够驾驶虚拟货轮穿越狭窄的船闸。
阿马多尔堤道（Amador Causeway）沿着运河修建期间挖掘出的岩石伸入太平洋，其堤道车道通往纳奥斯岛的史密森尼站。在库莱布拉角，研究人员整理标本，而一座简朴的公共博物馆则勾勒出连接红树林和礁滩的海洋走廊。2014年，由弗兰克·盖里设计的生物博物馆（Biomuseo）开放了其起伏的展厅，以展示巴拿马作为连接各大洲地峡的生物地理学作用。在城市边缘之外，市政峰会公园（Parque Municipal Summit）保留了云雾林，为候鸟补充能量，并保护城市空气质量。
阿马多尔会议中心的规划在中国的合作竞标下得以实现，尽管在堤道内设立中华人民共和国大使馆的提议引发了公众担忧（大约在2015年）。尽管如此，该会议中心预计每年将举办约100场国际会议，提升巴拿马在全球外交中的形象。此类扩建项目凸显了这座城市在遗产保护、市政实用功能和商业愿景之间不断寻求平衡。
尽管巴拿马城拥有现代化的外表，但它依然面临着持续的社会挑战。犯罪率高企，包括暴力犯罪——枪击、武装抢劫、绑架——以及小偷小摸和假冒商品贩卖，这些问题已被美国国务院重点关注。游客会收到警告，提醒他们在周边地区谨慎行事，尤其是在天黑之后，并避开那些可能违反当地法规的非官方摊贩。尽管同性婚姻在国家层面仍未得到承认，但反歧视的法律保护为LGBT群体提供了一些庇护。
交通枢纽主要位于东郊的托库门国际机场，欧洲和北美的洲际航班在此起降。巴拿马太平洋（原霍华德空军基地）等小型枢纽服务于廉价航空航线，而马科斯·A·赫拉伯特（原阿尔布鲁克空军基地）则通过巴拿马航空运营国内航班。在城市内部，Metrobus公交网络贯穿各条主干道，黄色出租车则采用由市政交通管理局（Autoridad de Transito y Transporte Terrestre）监管的区域收费系统。在出租车司机的抗议声中，Uber和InDriver应用争夺市场份额，反映出人们对城市出行方式的广泛争论。
巴拿马地铁于2014年开通，全长14公里，连接北部郊区和市中心。目前，该线路运营两条线路，第三条线路正在建设中。每条线路都能缓解狭窄街道的拥堵，因为这些街道上私家车的保有量早已超过了可用的车道。在安康公交总站，每天都有数千辆地铁列车前往大卫省、奇里基省和埃雷拉省，而国际长途汽车则穿越泛美公路前往哥斯达黎加。地铁站和公交车站的多式联运旨在简化高峰时段的交通流量，但交通拥堵依然存在，这提醒着人们这座大都市的快速扩张。
巴拿马城的整体面貌，如同一幅幅交织的城市织锦，展现了人类智慧与环境管理的精髓。从巴拿马老城饱经沧桑的石墙，到全球银行大楼光鲜亮丽的走廊，这座城市的层层韵律，展现着征服、创新和文化融合的演变历程。森林和水道依然是重要的交通要道，维系着运河的运营和城市生活。在这里，高耸的塔楼和殖民时期的尖顶交织在一起，过去与现在交汇，引领每一位游客见证这座城市在火灾与洪水、围城与庆典的洗礼下，沿着它所掌控的狭窄陆桥，不断塑造着自己的身份认同。
巴拿马城的历史
佩德罗·阿里亚斯·德·阿维拉（有时也被称为佩德拉里亚斯·达维拉）于1519年8月15日建立了巴拿马城，并很快成为重要的探险和殖民中心。几年前，巴拿马城成为运往西班牙的黄金和白银的重要中转站，这凸显了它在西班牙殖民帝国中的重要性。在西班牙殖民之前，马来-波利尼西亚人将热那亚裔意大利人、西班牙人以及来自菲律宾的椰子带入这座城市。这些交往定义了巴拿马城的早期历史。由于西班牙人（他们主要依赖热那亚共和国作为其主要银行业务基地）的让步，热那亚商人在1520年控制了港口和地区贸易，主要着眼于奴隶贸易。
1671年，臭名昭著的海盗亨利·摩根率领1400人的大军攻陷巴拿马城，将其夷为平地。如今，这座被称为巴拿马维耶霍（Panamá Viejo）的古城遗址依然屹立不倒，至今仍是热门的旅游胜地。1673年，重建城市，地点位于原址（现为卡斯科维耶霍）西南约五英里处。这座城市历史文化底蕴深厚，这片区域见证了这座城市的悠久历史，也是美洲最早建立的现代首都之一。
Just before the California Gold Rush, in 1848, the founding of the Panama Railroad Company signaled yet another major turning point in the history of the city. Though it did not start running completely until 1855, the railroad helped some 375,000 people from the Atlantic to the Pacific and 225,000 in the other way between 1848 and 1869. For that time, this flood of traffic greatly raised the city’s level of development.
A turning point in Panama’s history came with its November 3, 1903, proclamation of independence from Colombia. Negotiating the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty of 1903 was much aided by French engineer Philippe Bunau-Varilla. Along with a $10 million monthly annuity to Panama and a 10-mile-wide piece of land for the canal, this treaty gave the United States. Though it eventually became a source of conflict in U.S.-Panamanian relations, the completion of the Panama Canal in 1914 represented U.S. technical capability and economic might.
Especially in health and sanitation, the building of the Panama Canal made notable enhancements to the infrastructure and economy of the city. By November 1905, William Gorgas, the main sanitary officer for the canal building, had greatly lowered malaria rates and helped to eradicate yellow fever. But the flood of Caribbean laborers hired for the canal’s building caused until unheard-of social and racial unrest in the city.
With military stations built and a lot of American military and civilian personnel present, World War II brought more changes to Panama City. Though Panamanians had limited or no access to certain regions in the Canal Zone, which were exclusive to U.S. workers, this period saw unheard-of degrees of wealth. These conflicts came to a head on January 9, 1964, Martyrs’ Day, stressing the complicated and sometimes divisive link between Panama and the United States.
巴拿马城的现代演变
Panama City became a worldwide finance hub in the late 1970s and during the 1980s. But with the city known for its involvement in international money laundering, this newly elevated profile attracted a lot of unwelcome attention. Illegal activity accompanied the financial growth, therefore presenting a complicated picture of Panama’s economic scene.
1989年，美国与巴拿马的冲突愈演愈烈。在持续一年多的压力下，老布什总统下令入侵巴拿马，以推翻巴拿马事实上的独裁者曼努埃尔·诺列加将军。这场被称为“正义事业行动”的军事行动尤其在埃尔乔里约地区造成了重大破坏。战争期间的火灾给该地区造成了巨大破坏，该地区以20世纪初的古老木结构建筑为代表。尽管埃尔乔里约拥有古老的建筑，但实际上它是一个贫民窟，入侵对其居民产生了深远的影响。
1999 was a turning point in Panama’s history when the United States formally handed the Republic of Panama entire authority of the Panama Canal. With this transition, Panama’s sovereignty and economic progress entered a new chapter while a major period came to close. Panama still owns the canal today, which is still a major conduit for world marine commerce.
尽管巴拿马城的现金流限制远比其前身更为严格，但其暴力背景依然保持了其作为银行中心的声誉。更高的开放度和监管控制定义了这座城市的金融格局，这体现了其致力于通过减少非法活动来维护其全球声誉的决心。
Supported by port facilities in the Balboa area run by the Hutchison Whampoa Company of Hong Kong, shipping remains pillar of Panama’s economy. Furthermore very important for the shipping business of the nation are various ports on the Caribbean side of the isthmus. Once part of the Panama Canal Zone, Balboa, which is inside the larger Panama metropolitan region, was the administrative center for the zone. Still a hive of activity today, it is absolutely essential for Panama’s economic development.
巴拿马城的地理和气候
巴拿马城坐落于太平洋与翠绿的热带雨林之间，将人工与自然完美融合。对于野生动物爱好者来说，沿着巴拿马运河从城内延伸而来的都市自然公园（Parque Natural Metropolitano）堪称天堂。公园里不仅有凯门鳄、美洲狮和貘等野生动物，还有种类繁多的鸟类。史密森尼热带研究所旗下的海洋展览中心（Centro de Exhibiciones Marinas）是运河太平洋入口处的一个热带海洋生物和生态研究基地。该机构为了解该地区丰富的水生生物提供了宝贵的资料。
由于巴拿马运河的运营需要水源，巴拿马周围的热带森林至关重要。考虑到运河的经济价值，这些近乎完美的林地得到了保护。这使得运河成为一项意义非凡的工程，成为保护周边环境的重要范例。国家索贝拉尼亚公园位于运河西岸，包含山顶花园和动物园。公园内的管道路尤其受到观鸟爱好者的喜爱，为了解该地区丰富多彩的鸟类生活提供了一个窗口。
Nearly 500 rivers, most of which are unnavigable, entwine Panama’s tough terrain Usually starting as fast highland streams, these rivers meander through valleys to create coastal deltas. Two major hydroelectric power sources inside the city limits are the Río Chepo and the Río Chagres. One of the longest and most important rivers emptying into the Caribbean, the Río Chagres was dammed to form Gatun Lake. The path of the passage between the locks of the canal depends much on this lake. The old Canal Zone area from hydroelectricity from both Gatun Lake and Madden Lake, which also gets water from the Río Chagres. Another important river, the Río Chepo, empties into the Pacific and adds to the hydroelectric power source in the area among more than 300 other rivers.
Panama City has a tropical savanna climate marked by a clear wet and dry season. It falls under the Köppen categorization of Aw, somewhat less than a tropical monsoon climate. Annually the city gets 1,900 mm of precipitation; the rainy season runs from May to December and the dry season runs from January through April. Temperatures, averaging around 27°C, are rather steady all year long. Panama City’s location in the Intertropical Convergence Zone causes almost constant cloud development, especially during the dry season, which results in little sunshine.
巴拿马城的建筑辉煌和街区
巴拿马城老城区卡斯科维耶霍 (Casco Viejo) 堪称一座名副其实的建筑宝库。这片历史悠久的街区融合了西班牙殖民时期的建筑风格、法国和安的列斯群岛的豪宅，展现了这座城市悠久的文化遗产。这些建筑大多建于巴拿马运河开凿时期，它们为人们展现历史提供了一扇窗口，与勾勒城市天际线的当代摩天大楼形成鲜明对比。巴拿马城的高层建筑数量位居世界第 45 位，目前有超过 110 个高层项目正在开发中，另有 127 个已竣工，共同构成了密集而引人注目的天际线。
横跨巴拿马运河的百年大桥是这座城市的建筑奇迹之一。这座桥以其卓越的工程实力和美学设计荣获美国节段桥梁协会卓越奖。它是一座巧妙地融入城市景观的现代建筑典范。
Though its metropolitan area spans populous areas on the other side of the Panama Canal, Panama City is part of the Panama District. Corregimientos, which are further broken out into smaller boroughs, divide the city. Situated in San Felipe’s corregimiento is Casco Viejo, the old quarter. San Felipe is the urban center of the city together with twelve other corregimientos. These span Santa Ana, El Chorrillo, Calidonia, Curundú, Ancón, Bella Vista, Bethania, San Francisco, Juan Diaz, Pueblo Nuevo, Parque Lefevre, and Río Abajo.
Every one of these areas has its distinct appeal and personality. Bella Vista, for example, is well-known for its active nightlife and contemporary conveniences; Ancón provides a more peaceful setting with rich vegetation and old landmarks. Though its turbulent past, El Chorrillo is a neighborhood bursting with history and culture. These districts’ variety adds to Panama City’s dynamic and multifarious character, which makes it an intriguing destination to visit and live.
巴拿马城的经济和金融中心
Panama City, the economic and financial center of Panama, has a mostly service-based economy with great focus on banking, business, and tourism. Trade and shipping activity connected to the Panama Canal and the port facilities at Balboa greatly supports the city’s economy. The strategic significance of the canal has positioned Panama City as a worldwide convergence zone for capital and a top destination for offshore banking and tax planning. This reputation has created a strong demand for lawyers and accountants helping multinational companies negotiate the challenging legal terrain.
Driven by constant expansion of the Panama Canal, higher real estate investment, and a rather steady banking industry, Panama City has seen significant economic growth in recent years. There are around eighty banks in the city, at least fifteen of which are local establishments. Maintaining Panama City’s economic momentum has been much dependent on the stability and expansion of this banking industry.
鉴于其经济重要性，巴拿马城贡献了全国一半以上的GDP。这主要归功于城内及都会区内巴拿马企业和商业建筑的集中。这座城市本身就是一个重要的旅游目的地，也是前往巴拿马其他地区的游客的重要中途停留地。
The economy of Panama City depends much on tourism, which also greatly helps to create income. The travel industry has seen amazing expansion since the Panama Canal Zone was transferred at the end of the twentieth century. From 1,400 in 1997 to around 15,000 by 2013, the city’s hotel count has surged drastically. In this vein, annual visitor count jumped from 457,000 in 1999 to 1.4 million in 2011. Following only Perth, Australia, Panama City’s hotel occupancy rate in 2008 was the second highest among any city outside the United States. Dubai came second. Still, occupancy rates have dropped as several new premium hotels opened since 2009.
Le Méridien, Radisson, and RIU among several foreign hotel groups have either developed or intend to build new hotels in the city. These combine current brands such InterContinental, Marriott, and Sheraton. Comprising its first investment in Latin America, the Trump Organization’s Trump Ocean Club was finished in 2006 and towers over the city. It changed its name to The Bahia Grand Panama in 2018 because dropping Trump brand occupancy rates were causing problems. It is a JW Marriott facility nowadays. In 2013 Hilton Worldwide also opened The Panamera, the second Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Latin America, and a Hilton Garden Inn in El Cangrejo.
土地复垦项目进一步改变了巴拿马城的地形，为公园、住宅和道路（包括辛塔海岸）提供了新的土地。这些进步改善了城市的基础设施，促进了其经济繁荣，使巴拿马城成为一座充满活力的大都市。
巴拿马城的人口统计和文化多样性
巴拿马城人口约1,086,990人，分布于26个行政区，是一座充满活力、多元的城市。当地人通常被称为“首都人”（capitalinos），拥有丰富多彩的族裔背景。近70%的人口为混血儿，其中大多数是美洲印第安人和混血儿（主要为西印第安人）占总人口的14%。白人占10%，美洲印第安人和非裔巴拿马人各占6%。
Among the most distinctive qualities of Panama City is its cultural variety. It is shown in the great variety of languages spoken all around the city. Although Spanish is the most often used language, many of the locals also know German, Portuguese, French, Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, English, and so on. This language diversity emphasizes the city’s function as a melting pot of cultures and center of global business and tourism.
这座城市充满活力和国际化的氛围源于其人口和文化的多样性。无论是探索卡斯科维耶霍（Casco Viejo）的历史街区，还是体验繁华的金融区，亦或是欣赏公园和海滨的自然美景，游客和当地居民都能感受到这座城市的多元活力。
巴拿马城的世界遗产
巴拿马维耶霍
Representing the architectural remains of Pedro Arias de Ávila’s first Spanish city established on August 15, 1519, Panamá Viejo, sometimes known as “Old Panama,,” Expeditions headed for the conquest of the Inca Empire in Peru in 1532 began at this ancient location. Linking to the well-known fairs of Nombre de Dios and Portobelo, it also provided a vital halt on one of the most important trade routes in the history of the American continent. The gold and silver Spain took from the Americas was transferred using these fairs first and foremost.
老城区或老城区
Known as Casco Viejo, Casco Antiguo, or San Felipe, the historic quarter of Panama City was founded after privateer Henry Morgan destroyed Panamá Viejo in 1671. Designed as a fortified city, this location was meant to shield its residents from next pirate raids. Recognising Casco Viejo’s historical and cultural importance, UNESCO named it a World Heritage Site in 2003.
Reflecting Panama’s rich cultural legacy, Casco Antiguo presents a wide range of architectural forms. With almost 800 structures adding to its own character, the district boasts Caribbean, Republican, Art Deco, French, and colonial architecture. Important sites in Casco Antiguo include Plaza de Francia, Las Bóvedas, the Salón Bolivar, the National Theater (opened in 1908), Several noteworthy Catholic buildings, like the Metropolitan Cathedral, La Merced Church, and St. Philip Neri Church, also call this area home The golden altar at St. Joseph Church, which was buried in mud during the 1671 pirate siege and subsequently moved to its present position, is among the most amazing objects there is.
卡斯科维耶霍的 Cinta Costera 3
经过绅士化改造和大规模翻修，Casco Viejo 如今已成为巴拿马城仅次于巴拿马运河的顶级景点之一。政府和商界都为它的复兴投入了大量资金。2014 年，总统里卡多·马蒂内利 (Ricardo Martinelli) 为环绕 Casco Antiguo 的海上公路高架桥——Cinta Costera 3 举行了揭幕仪式。这项举措在保留该地区历史风貌的同时，也致力于改善交通和沟通。
Though first objections and worries that the Cinta Costera 3 project may compromise Casco Viejo’s World Heritage classification, UNESCO concluded on June 28, 2012, that site will not be included on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. This choice underlined the determination to strike a balance between modern growth and the preservation of Panama City’s rich past.
巴拿马城旅游：历史与现代的融合
巴拿马城拥有众多历史建筑和与巴拿马运河运作密切相关的区域，堪称宝藏。其中最值得一提的景点当属Las Bóvedas，这条海滨长廊拥有令人叹为观止的景色和宁静的环境，一直延伸到太平洋。国家文化局大楼与法国大使馆一起，见证了这座城市伟大的文化遗产。另一个具有历史意义和宏伟气势的建筑奇迹是位于大教堂广场的大教堂，它吸引着众多游客。
Renowned for its superb natural acoustics and seating capacity for roughly 800 guests, the Teatro Nacional, sometimes known as National Theatre of Panama, is a small entertainment venue An in-depth look at the history and operation of the Panama Canal is offered by the Museo del Canal Interoceánico, sometimes known as Interoceanic Canal Museum. Named for the many herons living there, the Palacio de las Garzas, sometimes known as Heron’s Palace, is the presidential residence.
米拉弗洛雷斯游客中心位于太平洋一侧的米拉弗洛雷斯船闸，内设博物馆和模拟器，让游客能够虚拟体验船只穿越运河的乐趣。阿马多尔运河（Calzada de Amador）有时也被称为阿马多尔堤道（Amador Causeway），采用运河修建过程中拆除的巨石建造而成，为游客提供优美的陆上景观和休闲活动。
From the opulent Waldorf Astoria, the first of its kind in Latin America, to little boutique hotels offering a more personal vacation experience, Panama City provides a great variety of hotel options. Particularly in the Calle Uruguay and Casco Viejo areas, which include several bars and nightclubs serving visitors, the city’s nightlife is energetic.
The Amador Causeway, the area east of the Pacific entrance of the canal, is one of the most recently discovered tourist attractions. Development of this region is aimed at attracting a lot of visitors and nightlife. Operating a small museum and station at Culebra Point on Nao Island, the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute provides information on tropical marine species. Designed by eminent architect Frank Gehry, the 2014 Biomuseo is a remarkable addition to the causeway highlighting Panama’s diversity.
Parque Municipal Summit is a well-known spot for nature lovers just outside of the municipal limits. Currently under building, the Amador Convention Center is projected to hold 100 international events yearly, hence increasing the city’s allure as a worldwide destination. Plans to create a campus for the People’s Republic of China’s embassy in Amador were finally shelved in response to public outcry and worries about the perceived value of the region.
尽管巴拿马城拥有丰富的景点和活动，但游客仍需注意安全问题。美国国务院指出，巴拿马城的犯罪活动包括绑架、持械抢劫、强奸和枪击。此外，游客还应避免购买盗版或假冒产品，因为购买这些产品可能违反当地法律。关于LGBT群体的权利，政府不承认同性婚姻；但目前已有立法旨在阻止针对LGBT群体的歧视。
前往巴拿马城
乘飞机
巴拿马城原本是美国在巴拿马运河主权的实际总部，现已将旧军用机场改建为民用机场，因此该市拥有三个主要机场。
托库门国际机场 (PTY)
托库门国际机场位于巴拿马城东北32公里的圣米格利托附近，主要服务外国旅客。巴拿马地铁自2023年起在港口附近开设了一个车站，从而改善了旅客的出行。该机场负责处理大部分外国航班，是连接美洲各地航班的重要枢纽。
盖拉伯特/阿尔布鲁克机场 (PAC)
虽然航站楼本身位于跑道西侧，步行前往地铁站很不方便，但盖拉伯特机场（有时也被称为阿尔布鲁克机场）却靠近阿尔布鲁克公交总站。巴拿马航空运营着这座前美国军用机场，现用于国内航班。该机场使用先进的小型喷气式飞机，每天从全国各地的大城镇和社区起飞。
巴拿马太平洋国际机场 (BLB)
巴拿马太平洋国际机场原为霍华德空军基地，是一座位于巴拿马运河对岸的小型机场。乘坐出租车前往市区通常需花费约30美元。该机场由温戈公司运营，主要负责处理来自麦德林和波哥大的飞机。
乘火车
Between Panama City and Colón, the Panama Canal Railroad provides the only train service available. Mostly a freight train, it features a passenger car with first-rate views of the Panama Canal and the nearby tropical jungle. For certain Colón and Panama City inhabitants, this unusual “transcontinental commuter rail line” provides their daily transportation. Arriving at the Corozal Passenger Station in the western suburbs close to Albrook Airport, trains are The train service reopened for passengers as of February 2024, especially for those on excursions from cruise ships.
搭乘巴士
With the Gran Terminal Nacional de Transporte, sometimes known as “Albrook,” Panama City boasts among the most sophisticated bus terminals in Latin America. Travelers will find a bus easily from this well-kept hub, which is part of a shopping mall of the same name and conveniently situated near Albrook Airport, the domestic airport of the city.
From the ground level eastern side of the terminal, long-distance buses leave where passengers have to pass through turnstiles paying a $0.10 fee.

巴拿马城交通
乘坐地铁
巴拿马地铁于2014年开通，是城中便捷高效的交通工具。1号线由高架和地下两部分组成，从阿尔布鲁克延伸至埃尔因赫尼奥。2号线服务于北部郊区，于2019年投入运营。未来几年，巴拿马还计划开通更多线路。
单程票价为 35 美分，老年人和学生可享受优惠。地铁运营时间为周一至周六上午 5 点至晚上 10 点，周日上午 7 点至晚上 10 点。
乘坐出租车
出租车是巴拿马城便捷的交通工具，但通常不设计价器。车费由政府制定，并根据所经区域而定，额外乘客需额外付费。标准费用从单个区域内的短途行程1.25美元到市内长途行程约5美元不等。往返国际机场的车费通常约为30美元，含过路费。
出租车司机可能会试图向游客收取过高的费用，因此了解正常价格并进行适当协商是有利的。Uber 在巴拿马城运营，为传统出租车提供替代方案。
搭乘巴士
红魔：在巴拿马城乘坐公交车既经济又高效。票价为0.25美元，目的地清晰地显示在前挡风玻璃上。这些被称为“Diablo Rojo”（红魔）的私人公交车经常装饰着鲜艳的装饰来吸引乘客。高峰时段，公交车可能会非常拥挤，许多人不得不站在过道上或挤在座位上。建议在高峰时段避免乘坐这些车辆。
In 2013, the “Red Devils” were eliminated from the primary urban routes but continue to link the city with surrounding suburbs.
地铁巴士: The city has implemented modern, air-conditioned buses termed “MetroBus” to supplant the “Red Devils” on primary routes. These buses do not accept cash; therefore, you must acquire a fare card at one of the city’s malls prior to boarding. The fee is $0.25 for standard routes and $1.25 for the corredor routes (Corredor Norte and Corredor Sur). MetroBus cards are available for purchase and recharge at multiple locations throughout the city. Nonetheless, the absence of maps or timetables at the stations renders navigation difficult without familiarity with the common names of destinations or proficiency in Spanish.
自驾
由于工作日营业时间交通持续拥堵，且许多十字路口没有交通信号灯，巴拿马城的交通出行相当困难。短途出行步行或使用其他交通工具可能更快捷。狂欢节等节假日期间，交通状况可能会更加糟糕。
托库门国际机场提供赫兹等知名租车公司提供的汽车租赁服务。巴拿马法律规定所有出租车必须涂成黄色，搭便车现象较为普遍。国家警察设立的检查站位置严密，旨在阻止非法人员和违禁品的过境。

巴拿马的安全
尽管卡斯科维耶霍（Casco Viejo）和巴拿马拉维耶哈（Panama La Vieja）遗址吸引了众多游客，且警力部署充足，但保持谨慎依然至关重要。这些地区白天通常比较安全，但游客众多，活动也十分频繁。尤其是在夜间，建议避免独自走得太远。请尽量选择人流密集的地方；避免前往人流较少的地方。
目前，巴拿马城的一些街区，包括埃尔乔里略 (El Chorrillo)、圣安娜 (Santa Ana)、库伦杜 (Curundu) 和圣米格尔 (San Miguel)，与帮派战争相关的暴力事件频发。这些地区曾发生过游客绑架事件，因此，务必完全避开这些地区。埃尔乔里略 (El Chorrillo) 距离圣费利佩 (San Felipe) 较近，因此容易造成意外通行。为了最大限度地保障人身安全，即使在驾驶时也请锁好车门。
Considered as the safest neighborhoods in Panama City are Marbella, El Cangrejo, Obarrio, San Francisco, and the Banking Area. Even as one is seated at a restaurant, it is still imperative to use vigilance about personal items. Petty theft can happen especially when people are drunk or preoccupied. After drinking a lot of alcohol, it’s best to stay alert and avoid strolling back to your hotel.
在巴拿马乘坐出租车，最好提前查询准确价格，并确保有零钱。这样可以明确预期，避免收费过高。有些出租车，尤其是靠近知名购物区（例如Multiplaza、Albrook和Multicentro）的出租车，可能看起来很吸引人，但通常会向外国乘客收取相当高的费用。务必避免乘坐这些出租车。
在主要巴士站，请妥善保管您的财物。请将财物存放在后座，而不是后备箱；上车后，请锁好车门。避免与那些建议您预订出租车的人互动，因为这可能表明存在欺诈行为。上车前，请记下出租车的注册号码并妥善保管。
Panama’s drivers show aggressive conduct; so, before crossing the street, one should examine both directions. Look for a traffic space then confidently go forward. Although drivers usually stop, one should use caution. Whether the circumstances frustrates you, keep your cool with police enforcement, taxi drivers, or any other person. Clearly state your rights using tactility and firmness to stop the escalation of disputes.
