Luggage storage in Retiro: the hub and its stations

Retiro is Buenos Aires's major transport hub, where three railway terminals, two Subte lines, and a long-distance bus terminal all meet. The bus terminal is where you can leave a bag: the bus terminal's left-luggage facility sits on the ground floor at Av. Dr. José M. Ramos Mejía 1680, open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

The terminal building itself is open 24 hours every day, but the luggage desk is open from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The railway side is less helpful for luggage — Retiro's Línea E station has no cloakroom or lockers at all.

The official Retiro bus terminal provides a VIP lounge for passengers that includes lockers for storage. Estación Retiro itself is a National Historic Monument, recognised for its monumental railway architecture.

Getting around Retiro with bags

The Retiro Línea C subway station features an elevator that provides step-free access between the street level (Paseo de los Carruajes) and the platform. The Retiro transit hub includes level pedestrian paths, accessible ramps at all crossings, widened pavements, and a pedestrian ramp on Avenida Ramos Mejía and Avenida Antártida Argentina that helps passengers reach the bus terminal's public waiting hall and platforms. Retiro Subte station serves as the terminus for both Línea C and Línea E of the Buenos Aires Subte. The hub also connects the Mitre, Belgrano Norte, and San Martín railway lines with Subte Línea C and numerous bus lines. The underground station is the northern terminus of Línea E, offering access to the nearby railway and bus terminals.

Exploring Retiro and its surroundings

Retiro is mostly a place people pass through rather than visit for its own sake — most travellers spend 30 to 90 minutes here if they stop at all.

Plaza San Martín anchors the historic side of Retiro, while Calle Florida is a classic pedestrianised shopping street in the district. The Eje Retiro corridor strings together Plaza San Martín, Plaza Canadá, Plaza Salvador María del Carril, and Plazoleta Fuerza Aérea Argentina, where the Torre Monumental stands.

That clocktower opens Monday to Friday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and weekends and holidays from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with 360-degree views from its observation deck over the port and the Río de la Plata.

Retiro Peatonal covers the pedestrianised streets of Carlos Pellegrini, Avenida del Libertador, Maipú, and Avenida Santa Fe. Retiro is an official barrio within Comuna 1 of Buenos Aires.

Mercado de los Carruajes is a gourmet food market located at Av. Leandro N. Alem 852 in Retiro. The Torre Monumental is a Renaissance-style clocktower formerly known as the Torre de los Ingleses, standing in Plazoleta Fuerza Aérea Argentina.
