La Boca is definitely one of the most authentic barrios in Buenos Aires, but travelers have to be aware of where and when wonder around. During the day the central areas of the city are safe and fun, even until midnight you can enjoy places like Corrientes, downtown and after midnight Palermo, Recoleta and Puerto Madero, but La Boca and some streets of San Telmo are definitely not a nice place for a night walk Wonderful post!

Try to wander outside the colorful area and a line of policemen will wave their finger at you like “no, no, no.” There is literally a dividing a line — the train tracks — where even the police don't want visitors to cross.
