Crime in Buenos Aires

I consider that area along Santa Fe to be a very safe place to walk at night. I notice an increased police presence at night all along Santa Fe. I have no issues walking alone there at 2 or 3 a.m.; but as always your safety comfort is a personal choice. If you take a bus home late, you will probably be able to get off within two blocks of your door, as Santa Fe and Pueyrredon have lots of bus routes to choose from.

thank you so much. i am a pedestrian at heart. living in miami you don't get that luxury very often, so when in cities that are meant to be walked, i do as much as i can.. precaution at hand, i can't wait to walk as much as my little feet allow!

hola es santa y ecuador si no hay drama alla!
y siempre gente mucha gente y mucho transito
ademas tenes muchos colectivos y el subte esta ahi tmb
estaras bien pero como en cualquier gran ciudad sentido comun!
si tenes otras preguntas, preguntame

abrazo

buenisimo saberlo! claro, siempre alerta pero por lo menos se que estaremos bien ubicados. la verdad es que no vemos las horas de llegar x alla y descubrir todo la cultura y cosas lindas que la ciudad tiene para ofrecer. muchisimas gracias!!

de nada que la pasen bien

One of my great pleasures is walking around here. Just bring comfortable shoes. If you are like me, you'll walk your little feet off!

It was a few years when I was in BsAs but I have to say that I had not one moment when I felt unsafe.
That includes San Telmo and Recoletta in the evenings. And I certainly must have stod out as locals often spoke to me in English.
Obviously, you need more than an element of awareness, but do not let it paralyze you. BsAs remains one of my favorite major cities worldwide (out of about 100 outside of UK) and all my memories are good ones.
Pack your common sense and don't do anything you would not do at home.

Good luck and enjoy Buenos Aires.
