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 explain how much I spent and how expensive it was. I stayed at a relative's house; it wasn't as comfortable, but it was what I had. Getting around is fairly easy on the buses and trains; just ask for good directions; it's a big city!

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.

It's not the most dangerous place, but it's not safe. Always be careful, don't go out alone at night, watch your surroundings and take care of yourself every day. Even though nothing has happened to me and I hope it stays that way, I recommend these safety measures throughout Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires is one of the most safest cities in latinamerica, but as in any other city in the world, I recommend to pay attention always tl the surroundings. Always ask advice from locals and try to stay in busy areas

Very nice city. People are kind and very friendly. You feel safe being in society. At night you can easily return home, even after midnight. No negative situations happened to me from strangers. I think it is very safe and calm to live here. As a foreigner, I have a good attitude from citizens, which can't be good. A wonderful place!

You have to be careful in some neighborhoods. Try to only take certificates Ubers Take care of your backpack or purse. In popular neighborhoods is ok to go around and safe. You have 24 hour transportation In general is very safe here

The 6th section is rather calm and residential but with loads of shops. Police cars go there on a regular basis to make it safer. I really like that "barrio", people is very friendly and will help you no matter what !
