Córdoba, Group travel
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

Iguazú National Park, Solo travel
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.

Rosario
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 people who speak English on the street, and in general it’s rare to come across foreigners. Don’t worry...

Rosario
Rosario is my city, and honestly, the security situation has gotten pretty complicated in recent years. There's been a lot of violence related to drug trafficking and disputes between criminal groups fighting over control of routes along the Paraná River. It's been tough to see the homicide rates go up and watch people worry more about safety. That said, the violence is mostly concentrated in certain neighborhoods, and a lot of the city is still pretty safe for everyday life. In day-to-day life, outside of those particular neighborhoods where these problems occur, you don't really see that...
