Safety
Argentina is generally a very safe country for tourists. Although crimes against tourists don't happen often, you should still use some common sense, for example avoid carrying a lot of cash, avoid any offers to exchange money on a street or in a restaurant, watch your personal belongings in public and crowded places etc.
