If you’re wandering through Panama City and want a taste of local life, the San Felipe Neri Public Market is a must. It’s packed with fresh fruits, juices, and local dishes, and the energy is just awesome — colorful stalls everywhere, vendors calling out their specials, and the smell of cooking filling the air.
We loved trying the freshly made juices and sampling some of the local eats. Everything felt super authentic, from the traditional breakfasts to the snacks, and it’s the perfect spot to grab a quick bite, meet locals, and soak up the vibe. It’s small but full of character, and there’s always something new to try at each stall.
Most things are really cheap, with juices usually around 1–2 USD and local meals around 3–5 USD, making it a budget-friendly foodie heaven. If you’re in Panama City and want a fun, local experience with fresh food and drinks you won’t forget, San Felipe Neri Public Market is definitely worth stopping by.
