Afterwards, wander through the colonial streets to the ruins of the Dominican Monastery and the Arco Chato, which is connected to the Panama Canal. Continue to the Plaza de Francia, which used to be part of the city walls, and the Paseo de las Bovedas, which is situated by the sea and offers a magnificent panoramic view overlooking the Panama Canal.
