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! 🇦🇷❤️🔥
Posted: October 4, 2025Honestly, 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...

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

Buenos Aires is overall safe (considering that it is located in Latin America). The only thing you seriously need to pay attention to is theft. Do not leave valuable belongings unattended, avoid showing off valuable items, such as expensive accesories or handbags, and try to keep your phone out of sight as much as possible. If you need to check an address or respond to any messages, get inside a shop. While pickpocketing is unfortunately common, violent theft and violent crimes in general are unusual. These would be my tips for female solo travellers if they choose to visit Buenos Aires. I...
Posted: January 10, 2026Buenos Aires is generally a safe city but it depends on where you are. If you stay and move around barrios like Belgrano, Palermo and Ricoleta, it is as safe to walk alone as a woman during night as in any other big city.
Posted: November 13, 2025Buenos 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
Posted: October 1, 2025You 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

My zone is pretty safe, You just have to know wich parts of Buenos Aires You have to avoid. I love near Palermo, Paternal, Villa Crespo. But if you go to Constitución, San Telmo, La Boca, etc You have to take good care of yourself.
