I agree and disagree. First don't use a debit card or a credit card. Pay for anything in cash if you can, use the blue market rate you will double your money 💰. Next use public transportation it is cheap and safe and efficient. You noticed he didn't mention any gun violence you don't have to worry about that in Buenos Aires. A personal tip use a money belt you can put your money, telephone or any important paperwork that you may need you will find Buenos Aires Argentina safe,clean a beautiful city. You will never get bored in Buenos Aires. And they have many many open green parks that are clean and safe and totally free to use and the people of Argentina use them day and night. I lived in Buenos Aires Argentina for nearly 10 years. Oh I forgot if you are coming from the United States use Western Union to send money 💰 to yourself and pick it up in Argentina you will get more than double the official exchange rate. And another thing that I discovered go to the Western Union office and pay directly in cash. Because you can send a 1000 dollars to yourself and pay only a 8 dollar fee, but if you use a debit card you pay a 54 dollar fee and a credit card you pay a 87 dollars fee.

I don't know myself...I've never used Western Union! And the person didn't answer your question they never do!😜!

Whenever somebody suddenly attracts my attention in front of me I turned around and looked to see what's behind me.
This is no different from being in NY, or any large city. I never had a problem in Buenos Aires, and I've visited the city several times. As a matter of fact, I'm going back in August. I have felt far more unsafe many times here in the U.S., than I have ever felt in Bs. As. One has to always be aware of one's surroundings, that's just common sense.

Dude, wearing your backpack in front tags you as a person who doesnt know where he is going. Its easier to target you that way. Do that inside public transportation but walking on the street like that is just marking yourself as lamb down here.
Great video, thank you!

The purpose of this video is to show people what to expect when traveling to Buenos Aires. I think there is a misconception on America media making places in South America seem more dangerous than they actually are.

Cars do NOT have the right of way. Even by law. If you are crossing the street on a zebra pass and theres no traffic light the person walking has the right of pass. And i can asure you most of the time drivers will let pedestrians go first. The bag on the front he is over exaggerating. I mean he is walking through Palermo on the day, really no need at all for that. Many people do that when in the subway, train or bus when its full, but that's something you would do on any crowded city in the world. "People are trying to take what you have and re sell it" lmao dude nobody is trying to grab anything from you. 100% exaggerated video.

I come from Mexico and i don't think cars have the right of way but we always ran when a car was coming so that we can get out of "their way"...lol! I'm in USA now and I still run! But in general even if they want to yield to me, I yield to them so that if theyre going to turn, they can do so faster than me, then I can just take my time.

En general son seguros, aunque desde mi punto de vista, los taxis son más seguros, lo peor que te pueden hacer son esas pequeñas estafas, pero imposible que suceda un hecho grave, algo que con Uber no lo podés tener tan seguro.

Quite the contrary. it's one of the safest countries in South America. Also, Buenos Aires is a beautiful city and worthy visiting.
A typical third world countries, and it could happens in San Francisco or New York . I am just saying.
Un video bastante paranoico por cierto.
