Hi Christopher,
Thanks for visiting the Panama Insider forum.
If you’re looking for central, walkable areas in Panama City, you may want to check out popular downtown neighborhoods like El Cangrejo, Paitilla, or San Francisco. You can read about these and other neighborhoods and more here on your Panama Insider website (https://internationalliving.com/country_clubs/panama/where-to-live/panama-city-suburbs/#three). Don’t hesitate to contact Pathfinder International with any real estate and rental queries, the company’s contact info is listed on travel threads on this forum (such as https://internationalliving.com/forums/topic/carnival-holidays-end-of-day-friday-through-ash-wednesday/) and on the rolodex section of this website (along with a host of other helpful contacts) and I am including it below for your convenience.
Yes, you do need to show a return itinerary, though we’ve been told most expats simply show a printout of a reservation.
Hope this helps, don’t hesitate to post any other questions (create separate threads for separate topics).
Best,
IL Panama Editor Jessica Ramesch
