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”
Posted: December 20, 2023I 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.
Posted: September 27, 2023I went to Buenos Aires in December and had a great time. I only know a few words in Spanish, but I managed somehow. I used the "hop on-hop off" tourist bus as an easy way to get to all the main sightseeing spots. I had a safe travel bag that I kept with me at all times, as in any big city, but I didn't have any problems. There are plenty of attractions and things to do, and the food and drink are fantastic!
Posted: September 25, 2023I was in Buenos Aires alone for a month and I had a really good time there. I stayed in the Recoleta district and walked alone, feeling safe. I highly recommend learning Spanish, especially if you plan to use Uber or a taxi, as I noticed that drivers do not speak English.
Posted: September 11, 2023I visited Buenos Aires last year in June and I felt safe. The weather was perfect. I stayed near the Obelisk, so everything was within walking distance. I really loved this city, especially the wine and food. I also enjoyed watching tango (my favorite dance).
Posted: July 30, 2023I mostly stayed in Micro Centro, Belgrano, and Palermo so I can only really speak to these areas. Palermo was the most walkable and had many work friendly cafes. Amazing options for restaurants, nightlife. Plaza Serrano and San Telmo have great markets during the weekends. In my experience very safe but as the case with all major cities safe keep an eye on petty crime. A friend of mine had their phone swiped from their hand while navigating late at night.
Posted: June 27, 2023Experienced: May, 2022I traveled for three months throughout South America, and I spent a week in Buenos Aires - the only place where I felt unsafe. All the taxi drivers were absolute scoundrels and they often exchanged our money for counterfeit.
Posted: April 17, 2023Buenos Aires is safe for a solo traveler. I spent the month of February there and stayed in Palermo Hollywood. There is a lot to do, great food and bars, it's easy to get around and it's cheap.
Posted: April 13, 2023I was there in February and stayed for five days - we walked alone at night through various restaurants and had a great time, feeling completely safe. We took taxis everywhere and never had any problems. We stayed in the Palermo district. However, we were definitely warned not to display our mobile phone in public places and to make sure the purse is close to the body so nobody could grab it and run away.

I went on a solo trip to Buenos Aires and had a great time. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, and there were many districts to explore. Places that must be visited include: San Telmo Market, La Boca with a tango show, Palermo and Recoleta.
Posted: April 10, 2023I liked the different barrios, the variety in food, things to do/see, the atmosphere. Very intersting history and friendly people!
