The Nieuwe Vaart is a historic 17th-century canal in Amsterdam, Netherlands, running from the city center eastward through Amsterdam-Oost (Amsterdam East). The canal stretches in a southeastern direction from the Kattenburgerplein — situated in front of the Maritime Museum — passing between the Oostelijke Eilanden (Eastern Islands) to the north and the Kadijken to the south, before continuing along the Cruquiskade and Zeeburgerpad and ultimately reaching the Zeeburgersluis, which connects to the Amsterdam–Rhine Canal. The canal runs parallel to the Lozingskanaal along its eastern stretch and forms the southern boundary of the Eastern Docklands (Oostelijk Havengebied). As an urban canal embedded within Amsterdam's historic waterway network, the Nieuwe Vaart offers accessible urban fishing in a setting rich with architectural and maritime heritage.
