Tips and Things to do in Casco Viejo:

  1.  Try the beer flight and pizzas at La Rana Dorada.
  2. Visit or stay at the American Trade Hotel.
  3. Check out a speakeasy! Jeronimo was my favorite. We went twice.
  4. Visit the Mercado de Mariscos (fish market) which is walking distance from Casco Viejo. Have a yummy lunch at one of their restaurants for the freshest seafood.
  5. Grab a coffee at Unido's.
  6. Coffee shops close around 6pm. Make sure you grab your fix before then.
  7. When traveling to and from Casco Viejo, grab an Uber. They have the cheapest fares.
  8. Check out the ancient ruins.

  11. After lunch at La Capressa, take a walk along the water to view the beautiful skyline.
  12. Make sure your battery is charged! 
  13. Wear comfortable shoes. It's a lot of walking!
