Experience a taste of international entertainment and modern leisure just east of Hanoi at Grand World Hanoi, a large-scale commercial and entertainment complex within the Vinhomes Ocean Park mega-development (located in Hung Yen province but marketed as part of the greater Hanoi sphere). Opened relatively recently (late 2023/early 2024), Grand World aims to be a vibrant 24/7 destination offering a unique mix of themed architecture, shopping, dining, and events, presenting a stark contrast to Hanoi's ancient temples and bustling Old Quarter.

The complex is divided into distinct zones, with the most prominent being "The Venice" – a meticulously recreated Italian waterfront featuring a central canal, colourful Venetian-style buildings, charming bridges, and gondola rides offering a unique romantic experience. Another major zone is "K-Town," designed to evoke a Korean atmosphere with relevant architecture, dining options, and shops catering to fans of Korean culture. Throughout the complex, visitors will find numerous international and Vietnamese restaurants, cafes, fashion boutiques, and spaces designed for events and performances.

Grand World Hanoi offers a modern leisure destination primarily focused on shopping, dining, entertainment, and capturing photos within its themed environments. It requires travel from central Hanoi (approx. 20-30km) but provides amenities and experiences aimed at families, groups, and those seeking contemporary attractions (as of April 2025). Check their schedule for specific events, water music shows, or festivals that might be happening during your visit for a full experience of this new addition to the Hanoi region's entertainment landscape.
