How safe is Ushuaia for women?
Ushuaia is a small city, everyone knows each other so it is very safe, of course you have to be careful with your things, but stealing it's not common. You have to be careful in Winter, because it gets dark earlier.

I felt very safe in Ushuaia, I found even the car drivers were pretty nice. Uber is available which is always a good thing for me as it makes getting from and to the airport. I stayed at an Airbnb about 25 min away from the center. It costs about 50€ inlc breakfast. Like all of Patagonia Ushuaia is not super budget friendly but there are a lot of things to do. I did a tour with a small boat across the beagle channel (50€ with El Che Turismo Alternativo), a self organised trip to the national park Tierra del Fuego (~25€) and a canoeing, hiking + penguin watching trip for (240€ with channel fun), I enjoyed all of it a lot. For food and atmosphere I highly recommend Ramos Generales El Almacén.

Family travel
It was definitely one of my best trips. Went with my brother. There was a ton of things to do, various touristic activities, such as hiking (for beginners to experienced levels), eating (food was so good), drinking, and sightseeing (we got to see penguins and sea lions). It was a great experience overall. Not as cheap as Buenos Aires but definitely worth it!

I was in Ushuaia and I really liked it there. I enjoyed two tours: one was a boat trip to see sea lions and penguins. The second was a train ride to the end of the world. Very interesting history. I also loved the food and people in Ushuaia.
