Buenos Aires, however, is a very safe city and local police keep it that way by actively patrolling all tourist areas. Violent crime is extremely rare and some smaller towns in Argentina are even safer than Buenos Aires.
Nevertheless, it is important to remember that a number of thieves who spend their time in tourist areas are on the lookout for easy prey. Always protect your valuables and keep your passport and tickets in a safe at your hotel. Carry a photo copy of your passport
