How safe are the Recoleta, Palermo, and Retiro areas of Buenos Aires?
These upscale neighborhoods are some of the safest in Buenos Aires, however, normal precautions still apply - especially if you’re leaving the popular bars and restaurants of these areas late at night. Generally, the wealthier neighborhoods north of Corrientes Avenue have lower crime rates than the neighborhoods south of Corrientes. That said, stay alert around the Retiro bus and train terminal at all hours of the day.
