Complete exaggeration, Buenos Aires is much safer than other big cities in Europe like Paris, Barcelona or London and let's not talk about the rest of South America

I visited Buenos Aries last month and was robbed at gun point while walking along the street in San Telmo. A car pulled up next to me, 4 guys jumped out (1 with a gun) pointed it to my head and told me to give him my phone. I obliged but was a bit shaken up after that!

I have met many people that have been robbed in BA, even at gunpoint. Despite of this, I would like to visit.

I grew up in the USA (Miami). Born in BSAS. I have visited many times Argentina and can tell you that crime in Argentina is much, much less than in USA!!!

To #bbert: This is a website to inform about Buenos Aires safety perceptions. Please keep your disgusting, retrograde and misogynist comments to yourself. And don't forget to ask the ladies in the brothel if they are working there consensually, as sex trafficking in very high in Argentina unfortunately.
