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.
