We found no official left-luggage desk at Puerta del Sol, so storage here means private lockers, shops or a pickup. Self-service lockers start at €2.49 for the first hour, storage apps from €1.49 per bag per day, and a LUGGit Keeper (Driver) collects your bags from your hotel or a street near Sol from €2 per bag and delivers them to the airport, a station or your next hotel.
Sol is Madrid's kilometre zero, and since 2020 the square has been closed to most traffic. Almost everything worth seeing in the old centre is a short walk away, which makes it a bad place to drag a suitcase. Here is what each option costs and who it suits, with prices we checked in November 2026.

Lockers and storage apps share one catch: you walk your bags to Sol, and you walk back to collect them. If your next stop is the airport or another city, that means a return trip through the busiest square in Madrid.
How LUGGit works near Puerta del Sol
LUGGit turns left luggage around. Instead of you carrying bags to a locker, a Keeper (Driver) comes to you, takes the bags, stores them securely and delivers them to the place and time you choose. Around Sol that usually means your hotel or apartment, then Atocha, Chamartín or Barajas Airport.
- Book online with your hotel or a street address near Sol as the pickup, plus where and when you want the bags delivered.
- Hand over your bags to the Keeper (Driver), who seals each one with a numbered tamper-proof tag.
- Explore Madrid hands-free and follow your bags live in the app.
- Get them back anywhere: the airport, a station or your next hotel, at the time you set.
Sol is not one of LUGGit's fixed meeting points in Madrid, which are Atocha, Chamartín and the airport. Book a pickup at your hotel or another address instead. If the address you pick can't be reached by van, the booking flow asks you to choose a nearby meeting point.
Prices start at €2 per bag. The final price depends on your pickup and delivery locations, how long we store the bags, how many you have and the service plan, so check the total in the booking flow before you pay. Every bag is insured up to €500, or €1,200 on the Flexible plan. Use code BLOG10 for 10% off.

Lockers near Puerta del Sol
Two self-service locker shops sit within a couple of minutes of the square. You pay per locker, not per bag, so one locker can hold several small bags:
- Stow Your Bags, Calle de la Aduana 7: walk down Calle de la Montera from Sol and turn right into Calle de la Aduana. A standard locker (up to 2 carry-on bags) costs €2.49 for 1 hour, €10.49 for 5 hours and €15.99 for 1 day. The maxi locker (up to 4 carry-on bags) costs €20.99 for 1 day. Open every day 7:00 to 23:00, with €1,000 insurance per bag.
- Locker in the City, Calle de Barcelona 10: open 24 hours, with free Wi-Fi and a USB charger inside the locker, video surveillance and insurance up to €1,000. The second day is 50% off. The price depends on your dates and locker size, and it shows once you pick them.
A locker suits you best when you'll come back to Sol for your bags, for example a morning in the centre before you pick up the car or a train from Atocha. Stow Your Bags closes at 23:00, so for a late flight use the 24-hour locker or a pickup.
Storage apps near Sol
Bounce, Radical Storage and Stasher don't run their own storage rooms. They partner with shops, hostels and hotels that keep bags behind the counter, and you book online. Prices below are from each company's Puerta del Sol page on 14 November 2026:
- Bounce: 13 locations around Sol from €3.98 per day, with €10,000 protection per booking.
- Radical Storage: from €3.40 per bag per day, plus a €1.99 per bag fee added at checkout to cover its €10,000 guarantee. Its Sol Station shop is 1 minute from the square and opens 9:30 to 22:00.
- Stasher: more than 40 spots near Sol from €1.49 per bag per day, with a €12,000 guarantee. It also lists a locker at Plaza Mayor for €9.90 per locker per day, open 24 hours, about 4 minutes away.
Check the host's closing time before you book. A shop that closes at 22:00 sets your deadline, and an evening flight can make that tight.

A few hours around Sol without your bags
Look for the kilometre zero plaque on the pavement in front of the old post office, the Bear and the Strawberry Tree statue on the east side and the Tío Pepe sign on the roof. From there, Plaza Mayor is a short walk west and the Royal Palace a little further. Calle Preciados, the pedestrian shopping street, leads from the square towards Callao and Gran Vía.
A check-out day that works without bags:
- Morning - Hand your bags to your Keeper (Driver) at your hotel, with delivery booked to the airport for the evening.
- Midday - Walk from Sol to Plaza Mayor and the Royal Palace, then lunch around La Latina.
- Afternoon - Prado or Retiro Park. Atocha is the closest station to both.
- Evening - Meet your Keeper (Driver) at the airport meeting point and check in.
Christmas and New Year's Eve at Sol in 2026
The 2026 Christmas lights switch on Saturday 21 November and stay on until 6 January, according to Madrid's tourist board. The city lists 18:00 to 00:00 from Sunday to Thursday and 18:00 to 01:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, with times still to be confirmed. The Christmas market in Plaza Mayor runs 27 November to 31 December, and Cortylandia, the animated show at El Corte Inglés on Calle Preciados, returns too.
On 31 December, Spain eats the twelve grapes with the bells of this clock tower. Entry to the square is free but controlled. In 2025 the city capped the crowd at 15,000 people, cleared the square from 21:00 and let people back in from 22:00 through four police-filtered entrances (Calle Mayor, Calle Arenal, Calle de Alcalá and Carrera de San Jerónimo). The official plan prohibits dangerous objects, and the Sol metro station has closed for the event in recent years. The 2026 plan was not published when we checked, so look for it in the last days of December.
We found no official luggage rule for the filters, but a suitcase in a 15,000-person queue is a bad idea. Leave your bags at your hotel or book a LUGGit pickup before you go.

Practical tips
- Watch your bags on the square. Sol is crowded all year, and a pickup from your hotel avoids carrying luggage through it.
- Check the closing time. Stow Your Bags closes at 23:00 and most storage-app hosts close earlier.
- Count the bags you can fit. A standard locker takes up to 2 carry-on bags; larger suitcases need a maxi locker or a shop.
- Check Sol station on the day. The metro station can close for events and works, so look at Metro de Madrid's notices before you travel.
- Going to Chamartín or Atocha next? LUGGit meets you at both stations, so you can hand over bags there instead of at Sol.

Frequently asked questions
Is there luggage storage at Puerta del Sol?
Not an official one. We found no left-luggage desk on the square in November 2026, but private options are within 1 to 4 minutes' walk: Stow Your Bags lockers at Calle de la Aduana 7 from €2.49 for 1 hour, Locker in the City at Calle de Barcelona 10 (open 24 hours), and storage-app shops from €1.49 per bag per day. LUGGit collects your bags from your hotel or another address near Sol from €2 per bag.
How much does it cost to leave luggage near Puerta del Sol?
Stasher starts at €1.49 per bag per day, Radical Storage at €3.40 per bag per day plus a €1.99 per bag fee, and Bounce at €3.98 per day. Lockers are priced per locker: Stow Your Bags charges €2.49 for 1 hour and €15.99 for 1 day for a standard locker that holds up to 2 carry-on bags. LUGGit starts at €2 per bag with pickup and delivery included; the final price depends on your pickup, delivery and storage time.
Can I leave my luggage near Sol overnight?
Yes, but not everywhere. Locker in the City is open 24 hours, and Stasher lists a locker and a hostel at Plaza Mayor open 24 hours. Stow Your Bags closes at 23:00 and reopens at 7:00, and storage-app hosts keep their own hours. LUGGit can store your bags overnight or for several days and deliver them when you need them.
Can LUGGit pick up or deliver my bags at Puerta del Sol?
Yes, at an address near the square such as your hotel or apartment. Sol is not one of LUGGit's fixed meeting points in Madrid (those are Atocha, Chamartín and the airport), and the square is closed to most traffic, so choose an address a van can reach or the nearby meeting point the booking flow suggests. Every bag is insured up to €500, or €1,200 on the Flexible plan.
Can I take luggage into Puerta del Sol on New Year's Eve?
We found no luggage rule in the official 2025 plan, which prohibited dangerous objects and capped the crowd at 15,000 people with police filters at every entrance. A suitcase is still a bad idea in that queue. Leave bags at your hotel or book a LUGGit pickup, and check the 2026 plan, which the city publishes in the last days of December.
