Hi Keren! it is as safe as any small town. Check out my post on safety! right here:

Check it out, here is a small piece:

A classic scene: tourist wants to go to Casco Viejo and asks a taxi driver to take him. The taxi says, oh no, it is dangerous. Don“t go there. Actually, ask most Panamanians and you are crazy to even consider living here. But somehow a miracle happens: the visitor (now really curious about the place) gets to Casco Viejo... and has a blast. Interviews people living in the area, and everywhere they tell him is quite "tranquilo". Notices that somehow, even where there are obvious economic differences among the population, the community as a whole seems to work very well and everyone mingles.
