This question is not for average Joe-tourist, but for people who want to learn about Panama from the perspective of a potential future lifestyle.
The extremely are most hotels and hotel apartment in Panama City. Most tourists go there and take a quarter. But for the exploration of the country lie in it then at the very end as a starting point. You arrive at Tocumen / Airport and drive to Panama City (about 30 km, about 30 minutes, about $ 25).
For Panama City, you usually need 1-3 days, including visit to the Panama Canal (Miraflores Locks). For this time I recommend you instead of a rental car to drive a taxi, which has the advantage, in addition to affordability, that the taxi drivers know where are the attractions. Take, as elsewhere, before the price.
But then It is actually in Panama only in one direction: West , on the road, the Carretera Panamericana , ie only in the direction of Costa Rica. Colombia direction you can easily forget you have little to Colon as well. Take a look at a map Panama (Pacific interessanater as Caribe side). There is of course absurd, from Panama City, Panama to explore. You would not explore a neighborhood of Dusseldorf in the Eifel, Hunsrück and Taunus.
is interesting to note (and tourist, the alien life) two zones: (from El Valle de Anton, about 150 km from Panama), "The Valley" and the Area of Chiriqui (region and its eponymous city) with the City of David (about 500 miles from Panama) and Bocas del Toro (islands, 700 kilometers from Panama) and the town of Boquete and the area (stands high as 1000 m, 580 km away). Take a look at my card:

I personally love the higher-lying areas do not (to stay), also located on the coast does not have to be ( then one can always go when you live here, not only on the weekends), more I like the countryside, the periphery of small cities and towns, as is La Chorrera, beautiful Capira and on to Chame (with the wonderful Punta Chame Peninsula) and San Carlos and Chitré (pottery). But as I said, this must not apply for others.
This area is the least dangerous, always warm climate (28-32 ° and 22-28 ° C at night, if it does not go into the mountains), good value in all (including houses, rentals and real estate), what life there regards and very quiet. Most foreigners (Americans, mostly senior citizens) living in the province of Chiriqui) and are also usually no sea view.
you need to consider how you want to spend your time and where you put up after the obligatory first days in the capital of their tents for the rest of the holiday. If you have a want to have rental car, ask me first. Although I can not mediate, you may say but functional. That you hire the best for the time after leaving the capital (but there) and give it to the end of your visit again.
is certainly an interesting trichotomy : Only the city of Panama, then the region Valle Anton and the coast with the beaches, then Chiriqui.
About Holidays I will report to a different blog yet.
Council : Build the small time schedule and in print. should more than 100 km per day not to be ....
Merry Christmas
