The service was brilliant, absolutely lovely people. It’s a shop called Vintage el Diván de Cocó; they’ll store your bags in a small room from 12 noon to 9 pm. It’s not far from Gran Vía or the Tribunal metro station. The prices are reasonable, no complaints whatsoever, and the drop-off and collection service is quick. The manager in charge is very charismatic. Best wishes to our fellow countryman, and many thanks.

Great place to store our luggage for the day. Note: this is in the Marina Bistro. You have to download an app and book this either there or ahead of time. The waitress there was very accommodating and we also got an espresso and tea to charge up for our walk around Bratislava. Also, we came here because the train station does not have luggage storage.

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.

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.
