No hay problema. Many of our students stay in hotels, or with friends or family outside of Casco Viejo in the “new” Panama City. Hotels here are generally cheaper than those in Casco Viejo, though typically, hostel prices are about the same.

If you stay outside Casco Viejo, it’s only a 5-10 minute, $3-4 taxi ride to Casco Antiguo Spanish School from many parts of Panama City. If you have a smartphone we recommend using the app Uber, which costs about the same as a taxi.  You can also take the Metro Bus for 25 cents (Panama Viejo route) to the Mercado de Mariscos and walk 15 minutes to Casco Antiguo Spanish School.  For 35 cents you can also take advantage of Panama’s brand new Metro, which takes you to the 5 de Mayo stop, a 15-20 minute walk to the school.

The good news is Casco Viejo is the neighborhood for sight-seeing, nightlife, and dining– so once class lets out, you’ll be exactly where you want to be.
