Plaza de Francia is a major stop on any tourist visit. Learn about its historical background and importance or just sit back and watch the world pass by.

This public square is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Casco Viejo. But Plaza de Francia isn't the only drawcard in the area. Bridge of the Americas, Miraflores Locks, and Metropolitan Cathedral of Panama are some other worthwhile attractions nearby.
