TRAVEL TIPS

Train Travel

Central America's first modern urban rail system, the Panama Metro opened its first line in 2014, and operates daily (5 am until 10 pm Monday through Saturday and 7 am until 10 pm on Sunday), costs 35¢ per ride (plus $2 to buy the reusable Metro card) and offers an efficient, traffic-free option for travelers, with air-conditioned cars and stations. For foreign visitors, Line 1—the only one currently operating—is mostly best for traveling between the tourist-heavy neighborhood called El Cangrejo, Albrook Mall, and the city's main bus station. It's also possible to walk from the station at Plaza 5 de Mayo to the Casco Antiguo, but it's a bit of a hike.
