How safe is Argentina? What a question. It鈥檚 like asking 鈥渉ow long is a piece of string.鈥� There鈥檚 not enough information to properly answer.

Where in Argentina? Safety for tourists? Travelers? Natives? Ex-pats?

What time of year?

Provide more information behind the question and I鈥漧l be glad to give a more precise answer.

Generally, Argentina is as safe than most major American cities. As long as a person uses some common sense, they typically won鈥檛 run into problem, as long as we鈥檙e talking about murders. Theft is another problem and that鈥檚 a little higher than a person will find in America.

Just lie in America, or even many of the world鈥檚 largest cities, a person can walk safely, day or night. Just use common sense.

You wouldn鈥檛 walk around SouthEast Washington DC, at night, with an expensive Nikon hanging around your neck 鈥� so don鈥檛 do it in Buenos Aires

Bottom line? Use some common sense 鈥� oh yeah, and try not to look like a tourist. It鈥檚 not only embarrassing for the rest of us, but it sets you apart as a target.


Buenos Aires

I have been in Buenos Aires for almost 2 years, The worst thing that has happened to me traveling alone is get pick pocked on a train outside of the city. Having traveled most of the USA, Mexico and Europe, I would consider Buenos Aires to be very safe for a city this size.聽 I have seen tourists loose their IPhones right out of their hand while talking and not paying attention to their surroundings. Most of these cell phone and camera thefts have occurred in the tourist areas like Calle Florida near Plaza San Martin.
Just pay attention to your surroundings and carry your valuables in a pack strapped to your front or your chest, instead of wearing it on your back.聽

Here is a blog I wrote recently on safety in Argentina
