Have a look here. Overall, it seemed pretty safe to me.

Fairly safe. There's some crime in the big cities and along the northern border, but it's not like... you're not gonna get killed. I personally would avoid Rosario though. There's nothing there anyways.

Argentina is generally safe for tourists, especially in main areas like Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Bariloche, Salta, and Patagonia. Most problems are petty crime, not violent crime.

Key tips:
- Watch for pickpockets in busy areas and buses; use a money belt or inside pocket.
- Avoid flashing phones, jewelry, and cameras in the street.
- Use official taxis, ride apps, or radio taxis—avoid unmarked cars.
- Be extra careful at night in bus terminals and around Retiro in Buenos Aires.
- Only use ATMs in secure, indoor locations (malls, banks).
- Keep photocopies of your passport; carry the original only when needed.

Overall, with normal big-city precautions, Argentina is safe and very rewarding to visit 🇦🇷✨

I'd say Argentina is basically safe, but like any country, there are some unsafe areas. As a tourist, stick to the tourist areas.
