This is probably one of the safest countries in all of Latin America. Argentina is generally a safe country as a travel destination. Most of the crimes committed here are similar to the forms of petty theft, pickpocketing and even some bag snatching. Argentina is generally a safe place to make your travel plans.
It is a safe and welcoming place for tourists from all over the world. Tourists usually don't have to worry about hardened criminals walking their streets. But tourists who are not careful may be targeted in restaurants or places that are well croweded. Some of the most crowded places may be the Buenos Aires bus station, the Retiro. So while it is a safe place, hold on to your pockets too.
