Hội An
The Ancient Town of Hoi An is known for its pink flowers that are showy and vibrant, as well as it’s yellow walls that have a rustic look. For dating purposes, many beautiful places abound in Hoian.

In daytime you could go down the hoai river on a boat tour or cycle to An Bàng beach amidst immense rice paddies besides an occasional buffalo.
At night time, the village becomes aglow from lights made by silk and paper lanterns which bring shining effect to all streets. Both sides of Hoài River have cozy eating houses and cafes where two of you can sit back enjoy this sparkling sight.
Huế
The imperial capital of Vietnam, which is historically known as Thang Long, makes a good romantic getaway for couples who are adventurous and interested in history. Some of the most well preserved heritage sites in the country include the Hue Citadel and the Nguyen Kings’ tombs. Despite being tourist attractions, Hue has managed to keep them calm and peaceful. Take a sunset boat ride on the Perfume River, stroll through old stone statues or dine at luxurious hotels which were established during colonial times or do any of these things while learning about Vietnam’s past when it was an empire.
One can reach this hill covered with pine trees after a short drive from town. If you bring your picnic lunch then both of you can enjoy some solitary moments among pines. One thing that cannot be stolen away from life here is time.
Phú Quốc
Phu Quoc Island has the best beach sunsets. The sunset in this tropical paradise is absolutely amazing, in colors of gold, pink and purple. Also, stunning sunsets can be appreciated from such eye catchy places like Rock Island Club or Sailing Club. Resorts such as InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort are designed for couples who wish to have a romantic dinner on the beach.
A simple walk at the beach however remains a classic romantic gesture. Ông Lang Beach is perfect for calm walks with its relaxed ambiance and a line of swaying pine trees.
Hanoi
One of the reasons so many Vietnamese love songs are about Hanoi is that it is a capital with a romantic atmosphere. Go to some out-of-the-way old coffee houses at the end of dark streets or walk along the city’s numerous cool lakes. Take a cyclo ride around the Old Quarter in autumn time, when Hanoi is filled with cold rays of sun and golden leaves. Near Hoàn Kiem Lake, pre-wedding photographs can be taken by local brides and grooms-to-be who enjoy such an environment themselves.
Do not go to a fancy restaurant; instead, sit on a sidewalk and have an easygoing evening with one another. After all, you are in Vietnam’s street food central! Sip on some delicious pho while sitting on one of those tiny plastic tables amidst Vietnam’s bustling cities.
Cam Ranh
Cam Ranh, a small town located in Khanh Hoa Province, is often overlooked by tourists preferring to stay in its neighbor Nha Trang. This is good for those who want to spend time with each other romantically. Here you may expect deserted beaches, delicious sea breeze and amazing views of fishing settlements. There are many high-class resorts at Cam Ranh which make it an ideal place for couples who want to have a stress-free vacation.
On the other hand, trekkers can go on a break at Hon Ba Nature Reserve next door while the city’s rooftop bars and beach bars are just one-hour drive away if you need some night life. Take several days off Mia Resort which is a romantic hideaway where you can reside in a bungalow right on the beach, relax in your private plunge pool and visit the spa.
Pù Luông
Before this place became globally recognized, you may not have heard about Pù Luông as the tourists who visited there decided that they wanted to keep it for their own. Every morning when you get up, if you stay in one of the ethnic stilt houses surrounding the valley, you can appreciate the cool views of rice paddies. A hot cup of green tea on the balcony at Pù Luông is one of these little pleasures in life that tastes even better when shared with your better half.
During your trip back home, a weaving, embroidery or basket-weaving workshop with an indigenous Thai will enable you to take away part of such nice moments. Additionally, a person can climb Mt. Pù Luông or swim in Hiêu Waterfall which is lovely and has some magical shades suitable for swimming too.
Gulf of Tonkin
In the way of exploring surreal Ha Long Bay, there are several different approaches to it but a luxury boat is the most romantic. Âu Cơ Cruises’ multi-day cruise provides not only unforgettable experiences in one of Vietnam’s most amazing landscapes, but also spoils you with mouthwatering dishes, open-air Jacuzzi treatments and sunbathing on deck.
Lan Hạ Bay and Bái Tử Long Bay, which aren’t as well-known as others, offer more peaceful spots to admire beautiful sea views. With your own tandem kayak, go for mossy tunnels, romantic lagoons or tiny islands.
Đà Lạt
Queen Nam Phương drew her husband Bảo Đại to build his summer house in Đà Lạt during the 1930s, and that’s how it happened. The year-round cold weather of this city makes flowers blooming all year round. During the colonial period, French officials erected many nice villas and mansions on the hills of Đà Lạt; some of them have been turned back into quaint bed-and-breakfast places.
Đà Lạt became the first Vietnamese city to supply tandem bicycles for couples who wanted to cycle around the calm Xuân Hng Lake. It is foggy in Tuyền Lâm Lake; therefore, it is popular among boating enthusiasts, amateur fishermen as well as those who want to have a little picnic. In case you had spent an extravagant night rest then be sure of a charming sunrise above the clouds when you wake up.
