Villa Crespo

Villa Crespo gives you a real Buenos Aires neighborhood experience with emerging trendy spots. Safe during the day but gets quiet at night, so stick to main streets after dark.

Villa Crespo gives you a real Buenos Aires neighborhood experience, but you'll need to be more street-smart here than in tourist areas. It's a working-class area where families look out for each other, and locals are generally friendly to respectful visitors. Stick to Corrientes Avenue, which has good foot traffic and lighting. The side streets can get pretty empty after dark, so plan your routes carefully and don't wander around alone at night. There's a growing trendy scene with cafes and restaurants that attract younger crowds, which creates some safer spots within the neighborhood. During the day, it's a great place to experience authentic local life without major safety concerns.
