I've always wanted to visit Baires due to growing up with argentinian telenovelas and i had high expectations about this city and when i visited it it was like being at home, this city has a unique vibe

It’s an ideal city for university students. There’s a lot of nightlife, many theaters, and plenty of free cultural activities. Do some research on the government’s website and you’ll find hundreds of activities for all ages that are very affordable or even free. The Güemes and Nueva Córdoba areas are perfect for walking around on weekends and at night (bars, pubs, nightclubs, etc). You don't need to be extra careful about safety — try not to walk alone at night — but overall, it’s quite safe

Iguazu Falls are magnificent. There's a section in Argentina where you're above the falls. Then there's a section in Brazil where you see the falls from the opposite side; it's breathtaking. There are also options to see the falls by boat or to fly over them by helicopter.

I felt very save in Bariloche. I was on a backpacker budget, the hostels were very cheap, the restaurants are moderate pricey. I did a biketour which was nice, like that you can see a lot from the area.

I just love Mendoza. I've been living here for almost 5years now. People's VERY friendly, it's a city, but it's not too big so it feels like a village with all city's facilities (to dance at night, to have a drink or go in a fancy coffee shop, bus stations everywhere, great parks...) And it's always sunny here ☀️😎

My experience in Buenos Aires was amazing! It was my second time in the city and I loved it even more. I met wonderful people, ate delicious food, and enjoyed walking around beautiful places. I felt safe in all the areas I visited. Buenos Aires has such great energy. — I can’t wait to go back! 🇦🇷❤️🔥

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.

Honestly, you do have to be careful, especially with the motorcycle thieves. I didn't feel very safe. It's quite dangerous from my perspective, but it's definitely a beautiful place. I recommend keeping your phone and wallet inside your clothes or in your bra so when they take your backpack, they don't steal anything important. The people there are very kind and polite, 10/10. My budget at the time was much lower and it was enough for several things. Now that the currency has gone down, I can't...

It was a nice family trip. Truth be told, there isn't much to do other than the beach, delicious food, and visiting Carilo's small but attractive downtown. It's a very peaceful place full of beautiful, enormous houses.

Mendoza feels pretty safe overall. Obviously need to be careful walking alone at night because of thieves but just that. During the day is very safe downtown and you can walk with no problem. I feel safer that in Seattle for example

In the centre and yerba buena the safety is oretty okay, but then av roca is dangerous at any hour soecially at night, anywhere outside of the 4 main avenues is unsafe at night and during the day as well. Honestly I still go out during the day alone walking pretty much anywhere (again avenida roca at any hour is pretty common to get followed if you are a girl who looks young)

I've been living here for 4 year, and I've just experienced an isolated case of theft, and it was really late at night (3 am) in Constitución. I've heard about theft on Palermo by guys on motorbikes, but I haven't experienced any of it. Just keep your belongings beard and behave as you should in any big city, Buenos Aires is a great city!

I don't think Rosario is unsafe; you just have to know how to handle yourself and not walk around strange places late at night, and especially not alone But you also shouldn't walk around too casually, like you're on your phone in the busiest streets.
Posted: February 24, 2026San Juan
All the downtown area of San Juan, as well as the Capital and Rivadavia districts, are the safest areas. It’s a small city, so after 10 p.m. it’s hard to find public transportation. It’s a calm place — you’ll see grandmothers drinking mate on the sidewalk at night, and children playing in the streets on Sundays in residential neighborhoods. It’s a very peaceful and safe city, but also very traditional, so try not to dress too extravagantly. Also, keep in mind that it’s unlikely you’ll find...

Buenos Aires's city is very safe but you have to know which neighborhoods you should go. If you are in CABA, then it is more than fine. Palermo, Recoleta, Belgrano, Barrio Norte are incredible safe at night time too but be careful with Microcentro at night

About me
Hi, I'm french but I live in Mendoza, Argentina. I'm 39, I've been living here for 5 years and really love it ! I'm a french teacher online and I'm learning Portuguese. I hope to be able to visit Brazil one day, and I'd love to visit other countries such as Colombia or Uruguay. I really enjoy meeting new people and get to know them and about their culture. I also love cooking so we might exchange national/traditional recipes ? I love dancing, especially Bachata. I don't smoke or drink alcohol (but my friends would not say I'm boring 😁). I'm a 🫑vegetarian 🥦 but it's a personal choice. We can talk about it as long as nobody tries to make the others change their mind 😁 I try to be a decent ally to LGBTQIA+ community, if it annoys you, it's not ok to me. Hope to meet you soon !
