Luggage storage Cordoba

Store your luggage around Cordoba with Bounce 

For many travelers, their only Argentinian adventure will land them in Buenos Aires. While the capital is certainly one of the world’s greatest cities to visit, most visitors miss out on the country’s other amazing travel destinations. Situated further inland in northern Argentina, Cordoba is one of South America’s true gems. 

There’s a rich colonial history to explore, with architectural style spanning centuries. Landmarks like Cordoba Cathedral and the well-preserved buildings of the Jesuit quarter are must-sees. Cordoba’s Old Town is also teeming with history, along with the quintessential Argentinian charm. 

If you’re an adventurous traveler, you can explore the surrounding countryside, including the rugged Sierras de Cordoba mountains. Come hungry because hearty Argentinian barbecue is every carnivore’s dream, and there are plenty of traditional snacks and treats to indulge in. You’ll also want to sample the country’s famed wine, especially Malbec and Pinot Noir. 

Even for a city of its size, there’s a ton to see and do in Cordoba, but you’ll want to plan ahead so you can pack everything in. Here’s a quick guide for visiting Cordoba: 

Luggage storage in Cordoba

On travel days, you’ll want to find a secure place to stash the bags while you sightsee. Depending on where you’re staying, you could end up in the city center with a few hours to kill before heading to the hotel. Most travelers will arrive in the city via major transportation hubs like the Cordoba Bus Station and Cordoba International Airport, and there’s a train station as well. These facilities might have storage lockers or baggage boxes with bag locks, but they’re hardly the most convenient luggage storage services in Cordoba. 

Bounce is easily the best bet in Cordoba, with plenty of luggage storage facilities throughout the city. Bounce also has premium features like 24/7 support from a dedicated (and friendly) customer service team and an intuitive mobile app for finding a storage spot near you. Bounce also partners with local shops and vets their facilities to ensure quality and security. The attendants are always friendly and helpful, making storing your luggage with them a breeze and a positive experience. For peace of mind, BounceShield guarantees back up the quality of service you’d expect from a top-notch service like Bounce.

Top things to do in Cordoba

While you’ll have your hands full of Argentinian culture, you might not want to skip the many outdoor activities on hand. The natural beauty of Argentina’s mountain ranges and high plains are famous for a reason, and there are plenty of hiking trails within a short drive of Cordoba if you want to get the blood pumping. Hiking and horseback riding in the Sierras de Cordoba and exploring the scenic lakes in Punilla Valley are all incredible experiences worth looking into. Picturesque rural towns like Villa Carlos Paz are a great day trip destination for exploring the countryside.

In Cordoba’s city center, you’ll want to check out all the historic sights and museums, but the bohemian culture and stellar restaurant scene are what bring many younger travelers to this city. It’s a university city with a fabulous nightlife scene, with everything from buzzy nightclubs to cozy wine bars. 

The culinary landscape offers a little bit of everything, from traditional asado (Argentinian barbecue not to be missed) and flaky empanadas to modern cuisine. You’ll find everything you need in the city. If you’re in the mood for some retail therapy, there are plenty of excellent shopping destinations for finding designer brands or local foods to bring home. 

Here are a few ideas for where to start: 

Museums in Cordoba

Cordoba Cathedral 

The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption, or simply Cordoba Cathedral, is the crowning jewel of the Old Town, with magnificent 17th-century Baroque architecture, especially its striking facade. It’s a testament to Cordoba’s colonial past and one of the most important religious landmarks in the city. The elegant interior can be toured, with well-preserved religious art, a gorgeous altarpiece, and statues. The main draw is the crypt where dozens of important historical figures are buried. 

Museo de la Memoria

Argentina's brutal military dictatorship was a terror to the country for decades, and the scars of these unfortunate events are still felt today. The regime’s odious Department of Intelligence (or simply D2) operated a secret detention center and operations base in Cordoba’s city center. Countless civil rights activists and political dissidents were captured and detained here, and some were never found. You can tour the facility and learn about this fascinating and tragic period of Argentina's history. Warning: this will not be the most pleasant experience and will not be suitable for children. 

Museo Superior de Bellas Artes Evita

Architecture enthusiasts flock to this revered Beaux-Arts mansion for its amazing design from Ernest Sanson. It was built in 1914, but there’s an opulence to the building that makes it feel like it’s been around for centuries. The cherry on top? It’s actually a fully functioning fine arts museum with hundreds of paintings and sculptures across its three floors and a dozen distinctive rooms. 

Lugging heavy bags around a museum simply won’t do, even if there isn’t a bag policy in place. Museums and landmarks in Cordoba rarely have luggage lockers or other amenities, so finding a secure place to store the bags while you sightsee is a must. That’s why Bounce strategically places its storage spots near tourist attractions and landmarks.

Shopping in Cordoba

Patio Olmos Shopping Center

This bespoke retail space is situated in one of the more interesting settings, a beautifully restored convent. While this may feel sacrilegious, it’s easily the best place in Cordoba to shop. You’ll find plenty of designer brands and local boutiques. The most notable local Argentinian brands to check out are Complot for some youthful color and Ay Not Dead, which has the best selection of upscale clothing with an edgy Manhattan feel to it.  

Nuevocentro Shopping

If you need to make a practical purchase for clothing or accessories, this is the best place to head.  Being the largest shopping mall in Cordoba, you can find everything you'd ever need through its dozens of stores across multiple levels. You’ll even find stores that sell travel-related items. 

Paseo de las Artes

The uber-hip Güemes neighborhood is one of the best areas for window shopping through quirky boutiques and art galleries, especially the open-air arts and crafts market Paseo de la Artes. Local artists and vendors set up shops to sell handmade clothing, ceramics, artwork, jewelry, and other wares. Hipsters are everywhere, so at the very least, the people-watching will be great.

If you’re heading out on a shopping spree or exploring a new neighborhood, you want to plan out all the details ahead of time and definitely find luggage storage so you won’t be lugging heavy baggage around a mall all day. Luckily, Bounce’s luggage storage facilities are situated near retail hotspots and the best neighborhoods. 

Restaurants in Cordoba

El Papagayo

With a sleek and minimal interior, this restaurant feels like a trendy Brooklyn joint, and El Papagayo’s pedigree goes back to Copenhagen’s illustrious Noma (once deemed the best restaurant in the world). You’ll find inventive dishes pulling inspiration from around the globe, with local ingredients and a nod towards traditional Argentinian food.  

Restaurante República 

This modern Argentinian restaurant gets all the luxury details right. While you can mix and match, the real experience here is the tasting menu with wine pairing. It properly showcases the flavors of South American wine with succulent cuts of meat and indulgent pasta. Reserve a table well in advance, and budget for the full experience.

Sibaris Restaurante 

The Hotel Windsor’s Sibaris is one of the best upscale restaurants in Cordoba, with an encyclopedic wine list and a rotating menu of contemporary takes on Italian and Argentinian classics. There’s a strong emphasis on seafood, with delicious prawns and catch-of-the-day being incorporated into their housemade pasta. Of course, you can get your gaucho on with a cut of steak. The hotel and restaurant are situated near the Jesuit Block, so Sibaris is a great place for a splashy lunch while you sightsee. 

Rolling your luggage around nightclubs and restaurants is, frankly, pretty lame. You’ll want to find secure luggage storage before heading out for the night, especially if you’re going to a fancy restaurant to celebrate a special occasion.
