When is the best time to visit Panama

Panama City's best time depends on your priorities: dry-season sunshine and festivals come with peak prices, while rainy months offer 40% savings and morning clarity for canal visits. Shoulder periods balance cost and weather beautifully.

High season
December - April
  • Prices: Peak rates for flights and hotels; book 8-10 weeks ahead for better deals, especially avoiding Carnival week.
  • Weather: Dry season with 24–32 °C and minimal rain (1–4 rainy days per month), ideal for exploring Casco Viejo and the canal.
  • Events: Carnival celebrations (February-March), Panama Jazz Festival (January), and Semana Santa processions (March-April) draw large crowds citywide.
Low season
May - November
  • Prices: Cheapest flights and accommodation rates, with savings up to 40% compared to dry season; book flexibly as afternoon showers are common.
  • Weather: Rainy season with 23–31 °C and 15–22 rainy days per month; mornings often clear for canal tours before afternoon downpours.
  • Events: Independence Day festivities (November), Black Christ Festival in Portobelo (October), and neighborhood Patron Saint celebrations offer authentic local experiences with fewer tourists.
Shoulder season
May, November - December
  • Prices: Moderate rates with flights dropping 20-25% in May and early November; book 4-6 weeks ahead as December prices climb toward peak season.
  • Weather: Transitional conditions with 23–32 °C and 6–10 rainy days per month; May sees afternoon showers while November-December mornings stay dry for canal visits.
  • Events: Independence Day parades (November), early Christmas markets (December), and Jazz Festival preparations offer cultural immersion without high-season crowds.
