Thread: Semana Santa in Panama City

Hi,
I'll be arriving in Panama City next week the 18th of march. Normally I was planning to stay there for one or two days before heading of to the Carribean coast and most likely Bocas del Toro. However after hearing about the overcrowded coasts and the difficulty of finding accomodation during Semana Santa I'm thinking it might be better to stay in Panama City till after Easter.
Does anyone know if such measures are necessary, or if, perhaps, the accomodation problem would be the same in the city?
I'll appreciate any information on this subject,
Amands.

Definetely you're right, in Easter most of the panamanians go to the interior, so will be better to wait after these days. Right now, the accomodation problems will continue all the summer but I'm sure you will find a place or hotel to stay here in the city.

Bye,
Yatzi

Hi Amands! I'd recommend making reservations in advance... especially if you are going to Bocas del Toro. Panama City will not be as "full", bet nevertheless it is always better to be prepared. Have fun and I hope you enjoy your stay!
