Crime and violence in Argentina
Elegant, passionate and culturally adventurous, Buenos Aires proudly displays its refined reputation as the “Paris of South America”. Its European-influenced architecture leads to tree-lined avenues and notable bares (historic cafes) that will serve you a Cortado with a side of romantic nostalgia. Beneath its sophisticated surface, this city sizzles, as do the grilled meats of its local parillas and the rhythmic dance steps of a seductive tango.
A trip to Buenos Aires irresistibly triggers the desire to settle down for 6 months on the banks of the Rio de la Plata. The call of the new world certainly intact. Its mixed architecture between colonial, Art-Deco and contemporary design, tells the story of Argentina. We love getting lost in the popular streets of Microcentro with its leather shops and improbable tango shoe stalls. For the cliché, San Telmo and La Boca combine all the folklore, from tango to Boca Junior. Buenos Aires today is also Palermo Soho and Palermo Hollywood, chic and bobo with its bourgeois houses transformed into lounges, concept stores and designer boutiques. To go out, you have to hang around Puerto Madero where the docks have been rehabilitated into very trendy addresses.
To visit Buenos Aires well, include stops at its cultural monuments: the Teatro Colón, the MALBA (Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires), and one of its 800 bookstores such as the Ateneo Grand Spendid. For architectural marvels, don't miss Casa Rosada in Plaza de Mayo, Recoleta Cemetery and Palacio Barolo.

Security
Crime
Petty crimes such as pickpocketing and purse snatching and cell phone theft are common. Perpetrators of these types of crimes often resort to distraction. Pickpockets often work in tandem or in groups and use various schemes to distract their victims. In some cases, thieves on foot team up with thieves on motorcycles, known as " motochorros ", to steal purses, mobile phones and backpacks.Common scams
- distract the victim by asking questions while another person commits the theft;
- splashing the victim with some substance and then stealing it while pretending to help clean the stain. If this happens to you, politely decline assistance and leave.
Diversionary thefts are often committed in the following places
- places frequented by tourists;
- railway stations, bus stations and airports;
- the subway in Buenos Aires;
- hotel lobbies and restaurants, including terraces near streets.
To avoid becoming a victim
- beware of strangers approaching you, as they may attempt to distract you and rob you;
- avoid flaunting wealth;
- always store your personal belongings, including your passport and other travel documents, in a safe place;
- do not hang your bags and purses on chairs or keep them between your feet in public places;
- do not leave handbags or backpacks containing valuables in the overhead compartments of coaches;
- do not carry large sums of money with you;
- avoid putting valuables in your checked baggage, as criminal groups are at work in airports looking for electronic devices and valuables.
Violent crimes
Armed robberies and muggings occur in urban centres. Victims walk away unscathed in most cases, but criminals can use force when resisted. If you are robbed, hand over your money and valuables without resistance. Do not walk alone after dark, especially in the center of large cities. If you are the victim of a crime, notify the police and obtain a police report. It is not possible to file a complaint from abroad or to ask the Canadian Embassy to do so on your behalf.

Travel safety in Argentina
While it is true, that the average crime rate in Argentina's major cities is the same as in Latin and South America. In principle, however, tourists can move very safely through the country if they observe a few rules of conduct. Since most of the trips to Argentina lead through untouched nature, the safety risk is minimal in this case. In big cities, please follow the instructions of your tour guide.
Some general rules of conduct have been granted (not only) in Argentina
It is best to leave unnecessary valuables at home or carry them close to your body. Crime isn't just a problem in poorer neighborhoods in Argentina. Especially in crowds in big cities and tourist resorts. The traveler has to reckon with unpleasant with certain physical contacts.
Be careful when withdrawing cash in tourist areas and busy places, such as central Buenos Aires and the suburb of La Boca off Calle Caminito, San Telmo and Retiro. Theft might ocure in dense crowds occasionally occurs (obviously unintentional soiling of clothes incl. "wiping clean" schemeses).
Backpacks, apart from trekking hikes, are a taboo in larger cities. Take care to secure your valuables!
In the evening and at night it is best to order a taxi. To do this, choose one from the coach house service, even after arrival at the airport.
Visiting Argentina - Beware of pickpockets
We both felt quite safe exploring the capital city of Buenos Aires on foot and by metro on our first day in Argentina. But in the subway, I was immediately approached by an employee as I walked towards the exit, still holding my change. He told me to take good care of my money and put it away. A young woman stopped us in the pedestrian zone. She said we should watch our cameras, it's dangerous to carry them openly. Finally, a policewoman even warned us - and so we decided to take the backpacks to the front and pocket the cameras.
Beware of the pickpockets
A good decision, as we found out a few days later: My friend got into a line D car in front of me on the subway in Buenos Aires, and an Argentine woman sat down next to him. I stood in front of him, a man to his left. Jörg had left my small backpack on his back. As I look in front of me, I see the standing man's jacket hanging loosely over his backrest, that is, on my backpack. That looked kind of weird. What I found even stranger was that I didn't see the man's forearm. Well, I thought, either he doesn't have one or it's under his jacket. Which in turn would mean it would be on or on my backpack. After that, my thoughts raced: knives? Slash backpack? Zipper? Big compartment? Small compartment? “My dear friend looked at me in surprise, and his eyes asked: What to do?
The guy told him "You must come here immediately, let's step aside!" My friend stood up and came to me, turned around so that I could see his back, and in fact the outside pocket was already half open. I let out a sigh of relief because there was nothing in there apart from two pens. Anything of value was stowed in the inner pockets. I closed the backpack, looked very angry at the man who had now sat down in his place, and said snappy "Gracias" to him. He smiled like a child who knows exactly that he has been caught, the other passengers looked doubtful to irritated, the train stopped, the man jumped out of the car.
After a few hours, clearly sensitized to the topic, we got back on the subway, and got back to the hotel. We stood in a corner where we were alone. A young man came up from the right, sunglasses, jacket over his arm. He was very close to to my friend. A guy of about the same age came from the left and stood super-close in front of me, his hand under the flap of his shoulder bag. The subte was fairly empty and there was no need to stand so close to us. My friend and I looked at each other confused. It was clear that we both thought the same thing. In a flash, we shot out of our corner and moved to another empty seat. One young man approached us, the other walked away immediately. He then stood in front of a woman who a short time later began to press her bag tightly to her. They both got off at the next stop.
