Useful advice for travelling to Panama (PAN)

A country where cityscapes intertwine with natural landscapes: Panama. Days are met with the waves of the Pacific Ocean, and nights are greeted by the Caribbean Sea washing the shore. Nightlife in Panama is filled with sounds of salsa and colourful city skyscrapers’ lights. Everyone who is missing some calm and peace in their life will love Panama’s beaches and islands. Here, you will discover a unique connection between yourself and the nature, so important to Panamanian locals. Cheap flights to Panama are great choices for both adventurers and those seeking some rest.

Preparing for the trip

When going to South America, there are no compulsory vaccinations required. However, you should be cautious about local mosquitoes, as they transmit several diseases. It is recommended to use repellents, wear clothes that cover as much of your body as possible, and avoid taking early morning or very late evening walks.

Lithuanian tourists that wish to visit the country for a short period of time are free to do this without a visa. This way, you could enjoy Panamanian rhythms for up to six months.

Transportation and travel charges

The best way to explore Panama is to rent a car, as roads are perfectly well developed in this country. You can also use ships, in order to take a closer look at several palm-covered islands or see the San jose–arenalo volcano.

You can pay for your food, drinks, and return gift purchases using official local currency, balboas (PAB) or USA dollars. One euro is equal to approximately 1.13 balboa. Living costs in Panama are higher than in Lithuania. For comparison, in Panama, you can have lunch in a cheap restaurant for 6 euros, enjoy a cup of coffee for approximately 2.30 euro, and buy a beer for 2. In local shops, a 1.5 litre water bottle will cost you 1.40 euro; you can buy one kilogram of rice for about 1.70 euro, one kilogram of beef for 7.20, while a bottle of wine will cost you approximately 6.70 euro.
