While most international flights arrive here, a secondary airport, <strong>Panama Pacifico (BLB)<\/strong>, serves some regional and budget carriers, most notably Wingo.<\/p>\n<h3>Taxis d'a\u00e9roport vs. Applications de covoiturage<\/h3>\n<h4><strong>Taxis officiels de l'a\u00e9roport :<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Vous trouverez le bureau officiel de dispatch des taxis situ\u00e9 juste \u00e0 l'ext\u00e9rieur du hall des arriv\u00e9es.<\/li>\n<li>Les tarifs vers les diff\u00e9rentes zones de la ville sont bas\u00e9s sur un syst\u00e8me de tarif fixe. Il est toujours judicieux de confirmer le prix de votre destination sp\u00e9cifique au bureau d'appel officiel avant de s\u00e9lectionner un v\u00e9hicule.<\/li>\n<li>En r\u00e8gle g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, les tarifs d'\u00e9chantillons depuis l'a\u00e9roport se situent g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement dans la fourchette de 30 \u00e0 35 $ pour des quartiers comme le Casco Viejo ou El Cangrejo, et un peu plus pour des destinations telles que Costa del Este.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Application de covoiturage (Uber, Cabify, InDrive) :<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Ces services sont g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement plus abordables que les taxis officiels de l'a\u00e9roport.<\/li>\n<li>La zone de prise en charge d\u00e9sign\u00e9e pour les applications de covoiturage se trouve au niveau sup\u00e9rieur (d\u00e9parts). Vous devrez sortir du hall des arriv\u00e9es et prendre un ascenseur ou un escalier m\u00e9canique pour monter d'un \u00e9tage afin de retrouver votre chauffeur.<\/li>\n<li>L'utilisation de ces applications n\u00e9cessite une connexion Internet fonctionnelle. Nous vous recommandons de vous connecter au Wi-Fi gratuit de l'a\u00e9roport ou de vous assurer que votre forfait de donn\u00e9es international est actif \u00e0 votre arriv\u00e9e pour r\u00e9server votre trajet en toute transparence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Se d\u00e9placer dans Panama City<\/h2>\n<h3>Applications de <b>Ride-Sharing<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Primary Options:<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uber.com\">Uber<\/a><\/strong> et <strong>Cabify<\/strong> are the most common and reliable choices for visitors. <strong>InDrive<\/strong> is also popular, offering a model where you negotiate and agree upon the fare with the driver before the ride begins.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Payment:<\/strong> Uber and Cabify conveniently use the credit card you have on file in the app. InDrive rides are often paid for in cash.<\/li>\n<li><strong>S\u00e9curit\u00e9 :<\/strong> For navigating the city with ease and security, ride-sharing apps are the most recommended option for visitors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Taxis Jaunes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hailing &amp; Fares:<\/strong> These taxis are hailed directly from the street and do not use meters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CRITICAL ADVICE:<\/strong> It is essential to agree on the fare with the driver *before* you get in the car. Your hotel concierge can provide valuable guidance on typical rates to your destination to ensure a fair price.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sharing:<\/strong> Do not be surprised if your driver stops to pick up other passengers along the same route. This practice is common and known locally as a <em>collectif<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Le m\u00e9tro de Panama (El Metro)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Overview:<\/strong> The metro system is clean, safe, and remarkably efficient. It is an excellent way to bypass the city&#8217;s notorious traffic during peak hours.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lines:<\/strong> There are currently two main lines that connect key areas of the city, including the Albrook Mall and National Bus Terminal, with various central neighborhoods.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Payment:<\/strong> To ride, you will need a rechargeable &#8220;Rapi&gt;Pass&#8221; card. These can be purchased and topped up at automated kiosks in any metro station. This same card is also used for the Metro Bus system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Metro Bus<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>System:<\/strong> These modern, air-conditioned buses have replaced the city&#8217;s older, more chaotic &#8220;Diablo Rojo&#8221; buses, offering a more comfortable and organized public transit experience.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Itin\u00e9raires :<\/strong> The Metro Bus network is extensive, with routes covering the entire city. For the most effective route planning, we suggest using Google Maps or the local &#8220;MiBus&#8221; app.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Payment:<\/strong> Like the metro, cash is not accepted on board. You must use a pre-loaded &#8220;Rapi&gt;Pass&#8221; card to pay your fare.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Voyager entre villes et r\u00e9gions<\/h2>\n<h3>Vols int\u00e9rieurs<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Main Airline:<\/strong> <strong>Air Panama<\/strong> is the primary domestic carrier, connecting the capital with key destinations across the country.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Key Hub:<\/strong> Please note that domestic flights depart from <strong>Albrook &#8220;Marcos A. Gelabert&#8221; Airport (PAC)<\/strong>, a smaller airport within the city, not from Tocumen (PTY).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Popular Routes:<\/strong> The most frequented routes connect Panama City to Bocas del Toro (Isla Col\u00f3n) and David (the gateway to Boquete).<\/li>\n<li>Please be aware that these small aircraft have strict luggage weight limits. We highly recommend booking flights well in advance, particularly if traveling during peak season (December to April), as seats fill up quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Autocars longue distance<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Main Hub:<\/strong> The <strong>Gran Terminal Nacional de Transporte<\/strong>, located in Albrook next to the Albrook Mall, is the central hub for bus services to nearly every corner of the country.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Comment cela fonctionne-t-il ?<\/strong> For major routes (e.g., to David, Santiago, Las Tablas), you can expect large, comfortable, air-conditioned coaches.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Booking:<\/strong> For most routes, you can simply buy your ticket at the terminal on the day of travel. However, for travel during national holidays or festivals, purchasing tickets in advance is strongly recommended.<\/li>\n<li>Un conseil pratique : apportez une veste ou un pull pour le trajet, car la climatisation de ces bus est souvent r\u00e9gl\u00e9e sur une temp\u00e9rature tr\u00e8s froide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Voitures de location<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><p>Avantages\u00a0:<\/p><\/strong> A rental car offers unparalleled flexibility for exploring rural areas, remote beaches, and mountain towns at your own pace.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cons :<\/strong> We do not recommend renting a car for getting around Panama City. The combination of heavy traffic, a complex street grid, and limited parking can be challenging.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exigences :<\/strong> You will need a valid driver&#8217;s license from your home country, your passport, and a major credit card for the security deposit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assurance :<\/strong> Panama requires all renters to purchase mandatory third-party liability insurance, known as <strong>Assurance Obligatoire<\/strong>. Please note this is a separate, required purchase from the rental agency and is not covered by insurance plans from your home country or credit card.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Roads:<\/strong> The Pan-American Highway is generally well-maintained. However, secondary and rural roads can be in poor condition, with potholes and unpaved sections. A 4&#215;4 vehicle is recommended for exploring destinations like the Azuero Peninsula coast or the highlands around Santa Fe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Navettes touristiques et transferts priv\u00e9s<\/h3>\n<p>C'est une option de porte \u00e0 porte tr\u00e8s pratique, qui offre plus de confort qu'un bus public mais est plus abordable que l'avion. Ces services relient les principales destinations touristiques, comme Panama City \u00e0 Playa Venao, ou le populaire transfert van-bateau-van entre Boquete et Bocas del Toro. Ces services doivent \u00eatre r\u00e9serv\u00e9s \u00e0 l'avance, que ce soit en ligne ou par l'interm\u00e9diaire de votre tour op\u00e9rateur.<\/p>\n<h2>Transport insulaire et c\u00f4tier<\/h2>\n<h3>Water Taxis (<em>Lanchas<\/em>)<\/h3>\n<p>In archipelagos like Bocas del Toro and Guna Yala (the San Blas Islands), small, open-air fiberglass boats known as <em>bateaux<\/em> are the standard mode of transport for hopping between islands. Fares are typically charged per person and paid in cash directly to the boat captain. We strongly advise protecting your electronics and valuables in a dry bag, as it is common to get wet from sea spray during the journey.<\/p>\n<h3>Ferries<\/h3>\n<p>Les services de ferry plus importants relient Panama City \u00e0 plusieurs \u00eeles voisines populaires.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taboga Island:<\/strong> Ferries to this historic island depart regularly from a terminal on the Amador Causeway.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pearl Islands (e.g., Contadora):<\/strong> High-speed catamarans service this beautiful archipelago, with primary departure points at the Fuerte Amador Resort &amp; Marina and near the former Trump Ocean Club. Booking your tickets in advance is essential, especially for weekend travel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Naviguez au Panama en toute simplicit\u00e9 : Du m\u00e9tro aux colectivos, nous guidons vos choix de voyage.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":45515,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"Getting around in Panama","_seopress_titles_desc":"Navigate Panama with ease: From Metro to colectivos, we guide your travel choices.","_seopress_robots_index":""},"tags":[561,23],"article-type":[24794],"collection":[27040],"continent":[24764],"country":[20],"class_list":["post-45028","travel-guide","type-travel-guide","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-panama","tag-practical-information","article-type-practical-information","collection-repull","continent-central-america","country-panama"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travel-guide\/45028","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travel-guide"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/travel-guide"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45515"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45028"},{"taxonomy":"article-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article-type?post=45028"},{"taxonomy":"collection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/collection?post=45028"},{"taxonomy":"continent","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/continent?post=45028"},{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=45028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
