Oostelijke Eilanden (; lit. Eastern Islands), also known as Oostelijke Eilanden en Kadijken (Eastern Islands and Quays), is a neighbourhood in the centre of Amsterdam, Netherlands, consisting of Kattenburg, Wittenburg and Oostenburg.

Geography

The islands are bounded to the south by the Nieuwe Vaart and to the north by the Dijksgracht. They are separated by the Kattenburgervaart between Kattenburg and Wittenburg, as well as by the Wittenburgervaart between Wittenburg and Oostenburg. Oostenburg contains what remains of the Oostenburgervaart. Notable buildings include the Oosterkerk and 's Lands Zeemagazijn (Het Scheepvaartmuseum), as well as the INIT Building, which houses de Volkskrant, Trouw and Het Parool.
