Uruguay has a higher murder rate than Argentina [0]. This is also true if you compare the city of Buenos Aires with Montevideo[1], though exact numbers are harder to find and I don't have a reference handy. If Buenos Aires has more crime(I have never been able to find numbers on amounts of roberies), it is not as dangerous.

- cobralibre 11y agoHaving spent a short amount of time as a pedestrian in both cities, I'll just say that way people drive the cars and buses in Buenos Aires could easily be described as murderous, though that's certainly not reflected by the murder rate.
- weeksie 11y agoBuenos Aires is incredibly safe when it comes to murder rate. Its petty crime is very high though, with over 900 robberies per 100k people.
