Arts & Culture
The National Theater was inaugurated in 1908 and is built on the site of an 18th century monastery. When it was first opened, it enjoyed fame as a glamorous destination for the city's elite but it gradually fell into disrepair and at one point was rented as a movie house. After two separate restorations in the 1970s and early 2000s to repair damage, it was reopened in 2004 and visitors can now enjoy a visit or a performance in its neobaroque Old World style. Be sure to take a look at the ceiling frecos by Robert Lewis, a well-known Panamanian artist.

The easiest and best way to visit the Panama Canal is to head to the Miraflores Visitors Center, located just outside Panama City.
