Darling business travelers, prepare yourselves for a Panamanian winter romance! Panama City in winter, December to February, offers warm, sunny days perfect for exploring, with average temperatures around 80°F (27°C). Forget the grey skies – think vibrant colours and delicious tastes.

Now, let's talk drinks! Panama's coffee scene is flourishing. Expect to pay around $4-$6 for a specialty coffee at a trendy café, often nestled amongst beautiful colonial architecture. The rich aroma and smooth taste will awaken your senses, perfectly complementing a Panamanian breakfast of fresh fruit and strong, sweet café con leche (about $8-$12).

For the evening, Panama City offers a delightful mix of experiences. If you fancy a sophisticated cocktail, you'll find many stylish bars in the Casco Viejo district, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Expect prices ranging from $10-$15 per cocktail. These establishments often play a mix of Latin jazz and salsa, adding to the lively atmosphere. The friendly Panamanians are known for their warmth and hospitality, and you'll likely encounter both locals and other international travellers, exchanging smiles and stories.

For a more local experience, sample Panama's national beer, Balboa, at a more casual "fondas" (local eatery). A Balboa beer will cost you around $3-$5, and pairing it with some delicious “sancocho” (a hearty stew) for around $10-$15 will give you a true taste of Panamanian cuisine.

Don't forget to explore the city! The architecture is a blend of colonial Spanish and modern skyscrapers, creating a unique aesthetic. You'll see flamboyant bougainvillea and hibiscus adding vibrant pops of colour. The city is alive with sounds – from the gentle sounds of tropical birds to the rhythmic pulse of salsa music spilling out from open doorways. Transportation costs within the city will average $5-$10 a day, whether you take taxis or the metrobus.

Remember, this is just a taste of what Panama City offers. The true beauty lies in the discovery. The overall cost for a three-day trip for a couple focusing on the experiences described above could range from $500 - $800, excluding flights and accommodation. But the memories, my dears, are priceless! So pack your bags, and let's embark on this Panamanian adventure together!
