Money-saving tips

Currency: The official currency is the Balboa (PAB), but in practice it does not exist in banknotes. The United States Dollar (USD) is the legal tender and is used for all transactions. The balboa only exists in coins, which have the same value and size as US coins.

Transport: In Panama City, the metro and VTC services like Uber are efficient. To get around the country, there is a good bus network. The most striking buses are the 'Red Devils', former US school buses, although they are being replaced by a more modern fleet.

Climate: Panama has a tropical climate. It is hot and humid all year round. Wear light, breathable clothing. Don't forget a raincoat or umbrella, especially during the rainy season (May to December), as downpours can be intense but brief.

Tips: The tip is usually not included in the bill. In restaurants with table service, it is customary to leave between 10% and 15% of the total if you are satisfied with the service. It is not necessary to tip taxi drivers.
