Private transfers or shuttles are ideal for getting from Panama City or Tocumen International Airport to the Colón 2000 Cruise Terminal. The terminal is 46 miles (75 kilometers) from Panama City and 53 miles (85 kilometers) from the airport, about a 1-hour drive. Shared shuttles are cheaper than time-saving private ones.

The Colón 2000 Cruise Terminal has many amenities and facilities for travelers, including a supermarket, luxury hotels, restaurants, pubs, casinos, and car rental. The terminal is beside the Colon Free Zone, the second-largest tax-exempt enclave in the world, where you can find further amenities, including a large mall with duty-free shopping.

No, don't wander around outside the tourist zone on foot. Instead, use organized transportation or tours when visiting Colón, as it's a hub of drug trafficking and counterfeiting, and not safe for foreigners to wander alone. Look for taxis outside the terminal. Organized shore excursions pick up near the terminal.
