Where's the best sightseeing in and around the Panama City, Panama area of Marbella?

Marbella is near the coast of Panama City. It is just a big city area and sightseeing is best done a few miles outside of the city center. I suggest checking out Casco Viejo (the old city) and then venturing out a bit more to the beaches (usually an hour+ drive).

Marbella is a nice neighborhood in downtown Panamá, which is the main city in the Republic of Panamá, with mainly high rise residential buildings, and many office and commercial centers. Because Panamá is surrounded by coast, beautiful hills and trees, the sightseeing is almost everywhere if you are in a building higher than the 4th floor.

But in my opinion, there are some specific places with the most beautiful sightseeing like the causeway, in Amador, at the entrance of the canal; the "Bóvedas" in Casco Viejo; the top of Cerro Ancón and Mi Pueblito; the Miramar and Trump Tower hotels; all of them minutes from Marbella.
If what you are looking for is a different kind of sightseeing, like ocean and mountains, the perfect spot is Cerro Campana with espectacular country view, Isla Grande, Isla Taboga, Boquete, Altos del María. and Cerro Azul. All of them are around one hour from the city, and some, like the islands, only have access by boat. The one exception is Boquete, which is 7 hours away by car or one hour by plane.
