Thanks! Hope you read the descriptions of the video about these lockers are currently not in existence, as that area of Atocha Station is under complete renovation. There are 3 other luggage storage sites near the station (one I have used a couple of times); please see the video descriptions for their Google Maps locations. Just want to make sure you don't show up to Atocha Station only to find out these lockers are no longer there. Happy travels!
Thank you for this video! Glad to know about needing cash ahead of time too! We are going to Spain for the first time in November and our flight to Madrid arrives in the morning. We already plan on going through Atocha Station so these lockers will be perfect until we can check in to our rooms!
Glad the video helped! If all the lockers at the station are full, there is another locker place nearby (on Calle del Gral. Lacy); slightly more expensive but a plan-b option. Retiro Park, Reina Sofia museum, and Prado Museum are just a few places within walking distance of Atocha. Happy travels!

Hi, the video is huge help as we are planning to visit madrid in april and will be using the luggage storage facility at the station. I have one question, how much time is allowed to store the luggage without being charged again?
Hello! Thanks for your comment and question! My recollection is that you can store the luggage up to 30 days; if you really need to store your luggage for more than a couple of weeks, let me know and I will find out for you. I have stored my luggage there for 3-4 days in the past with no issue. That said, there are still reports that this place has not yet reopened since COVID-19 closure. I will find out for sure and let you know (as there are alternatives nearby).
@@panovoyages Thank you for the response. Please let me know if there are other options near Atocha station. I will be storing for less than 24 hours only.
Looks like the lockers at Atocha are still closed. There are 2 or 3 places nearby you can store your luggage. Here's one I have used in 2021: goo.gl/maps/VWqCsmxRXSyZcKav5 It's a 3 min walk from the station (from the station's atrium, use the exit next to Mahoudrid restaurant, head left, and it's about a block away). Instructions (in multiple languages) posted at the location are fairly straight forward; this location also takes credit card. Plus, their website (see Google Maps link above for website URL) shows locker dimension and allows you to reserve a locker (I didn't make a reservation; though it is a small place, so if you are visiting on a busy holiday weekend, it might be wise to reserve in advance). Thanks for inquiring into this, as I will update my video descriptions so people watching it will be notified about the closure and alternative. I will also be in Madrid in April so I will make a short stop to see if the lockers in the station have re-opened. (If you would be so kind to allow me to plug the channel a little, I also have a couple of videos for day trips to Aranjuez and Buitrago del Lozoya, if you are interested in Madrid side trips to less unknwon places.) Happy travels!
Thanks for the video😊 amazing info, extremely helpful😌

Thank you so much! This video was a huge help to keep my daughters from getting tired from carrying their bags all day while we toured Madrid on foot.
Glad it was helpful, and glad the storage is open again after closing due to pandemic. Hope you had a great trip in Madrid and Spain!
