Extremely safe, it's a small city with less than 40 thousand people. I've never heard of women being raped or assaulted, or even pickpocketing. I live next to the mountain, the only danger is getting lost if you go deep in the mountains

Argentina is very beautiful but you need to be aware because insecurity is very high. Beware with your phone and purse in public and try not to walk alone at night, specially in dark places cause sexual assault is very often

My zone is pretty safe, You just have to know wich parts of Buenos Aires You have to avoid. I love near Palermo, Paternal, Villa Crespo. But if you go to Constitución, San Telmo, La Boca, etc You have to take good care of yourself.

Buenos Aires is a safe city throughout the Capital Federal (or Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires) area. Everything related to the metropolitan area depends largely on the area. I don't recommend walking or going out alone after 8 p.m., unless you're in the city center.
Posted: May 29, 2025Hello! Tucuman is a very large city, like in any city, the safety depends on the area you are in. Generally, it is calm in the area where we live. It is very nice and lively!! You shouldn't move around alone very late at night, and other than that, during the day, take care of your belongings, lock with keys, take care of your phone, and those kinds of things.

I feel pretty safe, except in Buenos Aires. Someone tried to robber me twice, just because my ex partner was Argentinian, and literally he saved me. The cost outside Buenos Aires are very accessible, you can find local food very cheap. But Argentina has magic in some restaurants that can be expensive. In La Boca, the most popular area in Buenos Aires, you can get a 2 people meal for $120 USD 🫠 (kind of expensive). But I tried the best pizzas ever.
