The area Cinco de Mayo is as authentic to daily Panamanian life one can get. It's a bustling epicenter of happenings that can overwhelm the senses. There's are important historical markers there, including an African heritage museum, the Independence square, and an indigenous marketplace. The area is also layered with a mixture of modern and cultural nuances like clothing stores, banks, jewelers, and street fruit + vegetable vendors. There are hidden alleyways where you can purchase leather goods, Panamanian traditional costumes, and oddities like candles of the saints. There is always some street performer, folks selling loteria (lottery tickets), or an aspiring DJ playing the latest reggaeton on the streets. This area is a party for the senses. Because Panama is a trade center for the Americas, people of every ethnicity live here. Someone of east Indian, Chinese, or Arab descent could also boast a Panamanian nationality. Panamanians like to remind you that unless you are speaking to an indigenous person, everyone could be Panamanian - you never know. Cinco de Mayo exemplifies this for me. You can get there by train, bus, or taxi ($2 or 3). I advise going during daylight because this area is also known for pickpockets. A few hours there will be enough and you can walk to the fish market afterwards. Get there before 2p to see all of the hustle and bustle.

If you prefer traveling like a local over using Uber or taxi's, check out the metro line in Panama. Station '5 de Mayo' is about a 15-minute walk from Casco Viejo. If you prefer to walk along the ocean on the Cinta Costera, 'Lotería' station is easy to reach near Calle 32 Este.
