If you’re wandering through Panama and love local markets and handmade goods, you’ve got to check out La Calle de los Sombreros. The street is lined with small shops and stalls selling the iconic Panama hats, along with other local crafts. It’s colorful, lively, and a great place to wander, browse, and soak up the local vibe.

We loved seeing how the hats are made and the variety of styles — from classic to super creative designs. It’s also a fun spot to pick up souvenirs or gifts for friends and family back home. The sellers are friendly, and most are happy to chat about the craftsmanship and history behind the hats, which makes the experience even more interesting.

Prices for hats can vary, usually 15–50 USD depending on quality and style, but it’s worth it for an authentic piece of Panamanian culture. If you’re in Panama and want a fun, local shopping experience with some iconic souvenirs, La Calle de los Sombreros is definitely worth a stop.
