Panama City is famous for its ultramodern skyline. But architecture in Panama is much more that just skyscrapers. While popular ‘barrios’ (neighborhoods) are developing in all directions amid historic sites, a new wave of designers and architects are bringing creativity to the tropical capital. Here are 5 Instagram-worthy buildings to snap in Panama City.

The BioMuseo

Imagined by Canadian designer Frank Ghery, the colorful BioMuseo on the Amador Causeway was completed in 2014 and represents the creation of the Panamanian isthmus 2.8 million years ago. As it emerged from the oceans, the strip of land that is now known as Panama became a biological corridor between two continents and two oceans, allowing for the migration of species from North to South. With natural light shining through tall glass windows, the eight pavilions are connected by a winding path that overlooks the Panama Canal. Along with the modern building, the museum also has a public atrium for temporary exhibitions, as well as, a botanical garden.

YOO Panama

In line with the previous work of founders John Kitchcox and Philippe Stark, YOO Panama is a residential building that brings together quirky design and modern architecture. Overlooking the ocean, on the trendy and central Avenida Balboa, the YOO stands out with its airy, bright and luxurious apartments and dreamy amenities. The heated pool on the rooftop offers a 5-star hotel experience to residents, who can also enjoy a top-notch spa, gym, party room and spacious playroom for children. But don’t worry, even if you don’t live at the YOO, visitors can peek into the imaginative world of the Philippe Stark by booking a table at one of the fine-dining restaurants. The Asian fusion Chin Chin is located on the building’s ground floor, perfect for a weekday lunch, while the Mediterranean Cabana offers a majestic view over the bay at sunset and is an ideal spot for a romantic dinner.
