I don't know why I couldn't find the luggage storage or a hotel at this location. Maybe Google is off. Anyway, there is easy and cheap bag storage (5 Euros per bag) in the bike storage building. There is also a small cafe there that has plugs you can use to charge your phone so it is a convenient place to wait.

Scan the QR code to pay via the web version (no need to download the app). Once you’ve paid, you can go into Assani Tailors and ask a member of staff to store your luggage. The staff were very helpful, and we had no trouble retrieving our luggage. I’d recommend this to anyone visiting the Mauritshuis Museum who can’t find anywhere to store their luggage (We took our luggage to the museum, but were told by staff that we couldn’t bring it inside, which is why we found this place) It’s a two-minute walk from the museum, the prices are reasonable, and the service is friendly and professional Thank you to the Assani staff for their help

The perfect place to drop off your bags if you’re catching a train later in the day. We took a taxi to the Chinese restaurant where we left our suitcases safely. The suitcases were labelled and photographed. The taxi was able to drop us off easily by the roadside near the restaurant. Later, we arrived by taxi, quickly collected our suitcases and took the taxi straight to the station. Brilliantly organised!

About Plaza del Congreso

Plaza del Congreso in Buenos Aires is a central and historically significant public space, located at the western end of Avenida de Mayo. It faces the Argentine National Congress building, an impressive Beaux-Arts construction completed in the early 20th century. The plaza itself, designed by French-Argentine urbanist Charles Thays, was inaugurated in 1910 as part of the city's centennial celebrations of the May Revolution, which led to Argentina's independence.

The layout of Plaza del Congreso is a testament to the grandeur and aspirations of early 20th-century Buenos Aires. It features a number of notable sculptures and monuments, including the Monumento a los Dos Congresos, which commemorates the Congress of Tucumán (1816) and the Constitutional Assembly of 1853. This monument, designed by Belgian sculptor Jules Lagae and Argentine architect Eugenio D'Huicque, features a central fountain and a series of statues symbolizing the provinces of Argentina.

Visitors to Plaza del Congreso can also appreciate the various architectural styles that flank the square, ranging from Art Nouveau to Neo-Gothic. The plaza serves not only as a civic space where citizens gather for protests and public events, symbolizing the democratic spirit of the nation, but also as a cultural hub, reflecting the rich urban tapestry of Buenos Aires. Its dynamic mix of historical resonance and vibrant public life makes it a pivotal site in the urban and cultural landscape of the city.
