The more dangerous areas/neighborhoods in Buenos Aires

Most people will tell you La Boca or Retiro or Once, but it really matters more as to how you hold yourself. If you are smart, watch your back and be careful (but not overtly worried or jumpy) you should be fine in most areas. At the same time, if you are dumb and loud and flash around your money or camera out in the open, you can get robbed no matter where you are. I know people who lived in the "bad" areas but were fine, and I know others who lived in the "nicer" areas (Palermo and Recoleta) and still got robbed because they didn't use common sense. So, as long as you are careful, you shouldn't have many problems in BA. Hey, at least it is safer than Rio!
