Security
Buenos Aires is a safe city, but as in every big metropoli, you need to pay attention to some things, like not leaving bags or wallets alone in public places, or walk alone at night in dark places.

If you visit the city and suffer some kind of problem, abuse or discrimination, you can contact the "Defensoria de Turista" (Tourist Defence), telephone: 4302 7816, address: Pedro de Mendoza Avenue 1835 (Fine Arts Museum "Benito Quinquela Martin") in La Boca, from mondays to sundays, 10 am to 6 pm.
