A private transfer from Panama City Airport (PTY) to Panama City Centre costs €40 per car for 1–3 passengers and €60 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 25 km via Corredor Sur; the drive takes about 25 min with clear roads, so plan on 25–35 min at busy times.
Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the public arrivals area of the terminal where you exit after immigration, baggage claim and customs (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2), holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.
Bella Vista is the district where much of central Panama City's hotel, office and restaurant life is concentrated, with the banking area of Obarrio and Calle 50, El Cangrejo around Vía Argentina and the Marbella towers near the bay. Tocumen airport lies on the eastern edge of the city, about 25 km away by road. Most cars take the Corredor Sur, a tolled expressway that runs along the coast past Costa del Este and ends near Punta Paitilla, from where Avenida Balboa or the inner streets lead into Bella Vista. The alternative is the toll-free Vía Domingo Díaz and Vía España, which is slower in weekday traffic.
Avenida Balboa and the Cinta Costera, a seafront park with walking and cycling paths, form the edge of Bella Vista along the bay, and the skyline of Punta Paitilla and Punta Pacífica rises just to the east. Inland, Vía España and Calle 50 carry most of the traffic, with many hotels, banks and shopping centres along them. El Cangrejo, around Vía Argentina, has smaller streets with cafes and restaurants, and the Metro Line 1 stations of Vía Argentina and Iglesia del Carmen serve the area. Most hotel entrances can be reached directly by car, though traffic is heavy at rush hour.
Public transport instead: Metro de Panamá Line 2 (airport branch) from Aeropuerto station (free airport shuttle from Terminal 1 door 2 / Terminal 2 door 18) to Corredor Sur (change to the Line 2 main line), Mon-Fri 05:00-23:00, Sat 05:00-22:00, Sun 07:00-22:00, 1 change. MetroBus (MiBus) bus from MetroBus stops at Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 to city routes (see MiBus route planner), daily 05:00-23:00. There is no direct public transport link from the terminals to Bella Vista. The airport's external shuttle runs to the Metro station, from where the Line 2 airport branch goes to Corredor Sur; passengers then continue on Line 2 towards San Miguelito and change to Line 1 for stations such as Vía Argentina or Iglesia del Carmen. MetroBus city routes also stop at both terminals and need a prepaid card sold inside the airport.
