The Fietsflat was a 3-storey free-to-use public bicycle parking facility in Amsterdam. It was located on Stationseiland next to Amsterdam Central Station and could accommodate 2500 bicycles. The name is derived from fiets (bicycle) and flat, an English loanword used in Dutch to denote multi-level apartment complexes. It closed in January 2023, alongside the opening of the nearby underwater Stationsplein bicycle parking facility, which has a capacity of 7,000 bicycles. An attempt to sell the Fietsflat to Schiphol Airport failed, as moving it there proved to be too complex and expensive. In April 2025, the municipality decided to demolish the parking facility. The demolition began on 24 November 2025 and was due to be completed in February 2026.
