Warnings Or Dangers: BUENOS AIRES : PICKPOCKETS AND ROBBERS
  • Tip Rating:
  • Because of the recent crisis, crimes have increased in Buenos Aires. Care should be taken at several places :

    PLAZA SAN MARTIN – The plaza is OK in the day-time, I supposed. It actually is very pleasant in summer and many times, I found myself lying on the grass slopes there to read or sleep. But I had learnt from my friend that it is not safe at night.

    AROUND MAIN BUS STATION AND RETIRO – Take care in the area where there are a lot of vendors or when you are getting on a bus.

    NEAR ONCE TRAIN STATION – This is the poorer and trashier part of Buenos Aires. Take care.

    NEAR LA BOCA – This is also a poor neighbourhood. Due to the unsanitary conditions in the past, the rich moved to the North and hence, the area here was soon taken over by the poor. On the road towards La Boca, beware of robbers. We were victims of the stain-and-distract robbery.

  • Due to the robbery of the middle-class Argentinians of their money in their bank accounts in Dec 2001, many Portenos are very resentful of BANKS.

    Every other day, you can see the results of banks after being sprayed and smeared senseless with graffiti.
