The highlights are an impressive scale model of Panamá Viejo prior to 1671 as well as a few surviving colonial artifacts. Signs are in Spanish, though a brochure and tape recording recount the site’s history in English. An optional extra is climbing Mirador de la Torre, the lookout tower.
The cost of entry depends on what you wish to see, with the higher price including both Museo de Sitio Panamá Viejo and a trip up to the mirador (admission US$3 to US$6, children US$0.50). Children under eight are not allowed to go up the tower.
