Is Buenos Aires Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

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

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! 🇦🇷❤️‍🔥

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...

Really one of the best places in LATAMand that coming from a Brazilian is a big deal, I love BA, the vibe, the food, everything you can experience, how international it is, the parties!!! And etc. I would be worried though of the price now because they're passing through a crisis.

I really liked Buenos Aires and overall it's pretty safe, just be informed about the different quarters of the city. You have to try neapolean style pizza which is one of the best I had and make sure to have fun

I am Brazilian, I stayed 30 days in Buenos Aires, and I felt safer than I would in the big cities of my country. Public transportation works very well, and the city has good infrastructure with sidewalks, parks, cafés, and pleasant places to walk around (this was my favorite part). Argentine beef and barbecue are incredible! However, I found everyday food to be nothing special. The bars and clubs there open very late at night, the party usually only stars at 1am and goes all the way to 5 or...

Buenos Aires is one of my favourite cities in the world! Full of life and cultural activities, it is the vibrant home of thousands of Argentinians (some of the kindest and most welcoming people I've ever met!). Of course, there are some areas you should avoid, especially at night, and should be aware of your surroundings at all times, but besides it did not feel particularly dangerous as a woman travelling solo! Would defenitely recommend!! (But pro tip: learn some basic Spanish first! ;))

My trip to Buenos Aires was so memorable, food, people, public transportation, were amazing. I didnt have high expectations but Buenos Aires its such a beautiful and safe city and cant wait to be back soon. I loved every second I spent there, pizza, media lunas, asado and milanesas were my favorite thing, going to la boca, la casa rosada, san telmo, recoleta, av 9 de julio, etc. I highly recommend trying the restaurant “petalo” and “el imperio de la pizza”

I come from Argentina and in my opinion, Buenos Aires is safe, just watch out for your belongings in public transportation and in crowded areas. I suggest visiting San Telmo market and its surroundings, Puerto Madero, Recoleta cemetery, Ateneo library, and the Palermo district. Buenos Aires is huge and there are a lot of things to do there.

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!

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

Honestly it’s a pretty safe city, the older men are very creepy though like far more than any other city, but they just stare longingly but the vibes are pretty good, the people are somewhat kind and the food is great so yeah!

Buenos aires is a very safe city - however, like any other place you have to beware of your surroundings at night and dont use your phone too lightly in the subway or public transport in general - villa crespo, caballito, nuñez, recoleta, belgrano are your safe destinations- palermo is popular but not too safe since its very touristy - avoid scammers at obelisco and avoid going to Retiro station since there is a villa (slum) next to it- also avoid train stations in general- san telmo is...

There’s quite a bit of pickpockets, but if you avoid certain areas you’ll be safe. Neighborhoods like Palermo, Belgrano and Recoleta are very safe. Palermo is particularly packed with tourists. Avoid neighborhoods like Matadero and Lugano.

Overall, I feel very safe here in Buenos Aires, especially Palermo, where you can walk around without a problem, even at night. You have to be a little more mindful in the center and La Boca regarding pickpockets.
