The fair runs 13 May to 15 May 2027 and rooms near the venue sell out first, so book a free-cancellation rate early. Add your company name and tax number at checkout for an itemised tax invoice.
Vietnam Expo Hanoi is held at the Vietnam Exhibition Center (VEC) in Dong Anh, on the outskirts of Hanoi, with the 2027 (36th edition) taking place in May. It is Vietnam's longest-running general trade and sourcing fair, covering consumer goods, machinery, electronics, agriculture, industrial products and services, and serving as a key platform for regional trade promotion. The event draws exhibitors and buyers from across Vietnam, ASEAN and further afield, filling the exhibition halls over several days. Because the Vietnam Exhibition Center sits in Dong Anh north of the Red River, away from the central hotel districts, well-located rooms with reliable transport to the venue are in demand and book out as the show approaches. Delegates who book late can face longer commutes into and out of the city centre. Event Escapes shows live, bookable hotel rates sorted by real distance from the Vietnam Exhibition Center, so you can balance proximity against price and keep your travel days efficient.

Getting there
From Noi Bai International Airport (HAN)
- Noi Bai is north of the city in the Dong Anh direction, relatively close to the Vietnam Exhibition Center.

Getting around during Vietnam Expo Hanoi
Taxis, rideshare and the venue
- Grab is the dominant ride-hail app in Hanoi for cars and motorbikes and is the easiest way to reach the VEC.
- The exhibition centre is in Dong Anh across the Red River, so allow time for the journey from the centre.
- Agree metered or app-based fares to avoid overcharging.
Public transport
- Public buses serve routes towards Dong Anh but can be slow and crowded for first-time visitors.
- Many delegates share taxis or use organiser shuttles where available to reach the venue.
Visa & entry
Entry to Vietnam
- Vietnam offers an official e-visa to many nationalities and grants short visa-free entry to some, while others need a visa in advance.
- Apply for the e-visa through the official government portal well before travel.
- Carry printed visa confirmation and event registration details for entry.
Visa requirements change and vary by nationality, so always confirm the current rules with the official Vietnamese government or embassy source before booking.
First time at Vietnam Expo Hanoi?
- The VEC is in Dong Anh outside the centre, so weigh a nearer hotel against staying in the Old Quarter.

- Carry Vietnamese dong in small denominations for taxis, food and incidentals.
- Build in extra travel time to cross the Red River during peak hours.
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- Consider a hotel between the airport and the city if the venue is your main focus, to cut daily travel.
- Use Grab consistently and save the venue address in Vietnamese for drivers.
- The Old Quarter and West Lake areas offer the best business-dinner and networking options in the evening.
