Why go to Venice, when you can go to Greater Noida?

Tourists and shoppers are flocking to a mall in Greater Noida. People love the Venice themed mall. Otherwise, Greater Noida is a ghost town.

Venice Mall is like any other mall housing Big Bazaar, clothing brands, and food court. But, there are canals inside the mall, with the Gandolas. Visitors can hire the boats. There is also a replica of leaning tower of Pisa. Tourists love to snap selfies and group photographs.

Sreedeep writes, “This is not the Venice of Italy, it is the Venice of Greater Noida — a site of consumption in the suburbian extension of the capital city. It is an example of our new-found craze for themed sites of consumption.”

Greater Noida has better connectivity than most Indian cities. Revamped expressway, new metro and a future airport connects it with the rest of Delhi-NCR. It also has region’s biggest expo centre, and a huge Decathlon store. It should attract more real estate based businesses.
