Whether it's because of their historical links, cafés and restaurants or striking beauty, some streets are a cut above the rest. Make tracks to Avenida Balboa and discover why it's such an attraction.

You'll soon see why this Calidonia public thoroughfare is a hit with travelers. If you're searching for more to see and do here, Bridge of the Americas, Miraflores Locks, and Metropolitan Cathedral of Panama are in this area too. They won't take you very long to reach from Avenida Balboa.

8.2/10 Very Good! (143 reviews)
Great area to stay in, but if you’re staying in any room close to the lounge downstairs you’re not going to be able to get rest. It’s very loud! Staff was super friendly, helpful, and from I hear from family breakfast was great! Great area as well! Clean, safe and great food!

Clean and spacious rooms. Centrally located. Breakfast is good with many options. Wi-Fi can be much better. Wi-Fi is slow and difficult to connect. Staff are courteous and helpful.
