Hanoi: Cozy Cafes & Historic Charm
Hanoi is a quiet northern city with many things to do with your beautiful companion.
Let’s start with the small activities, and finish with A Long Bay, which is a must-do experience.
- Grab an Egg Coffee on Train Street
Start the day with a coffee or breakfast in any of the cafes along the narrow train tracks. This place is great if your woman is adventurous. She’ll love the thrill of having the train pass just inches away.
- Stroll Around Hoan Kiem Lake
This is a classic local date tradition. On weekends, the streets around the lake become a pedestrian-only zone. Walk hand-in-hand, listen to live street musicians, and stop for some local ice cream (Kem Tràng Tiền).
A perfect place to kiss her and start turning her on for what comes later.
- Explore the Street Food Culture
Before a bedroom section, make sure your lady isn’t hungry. It’s hard to make a Vietnamese lady horny on an empty stomach.
There are alleys in Bún Chả and Bánh Cuốn with tiny restaurants offering an incredible local culinary experience.
- A Long Bay
A trip to Long Bay is a must during your visit to Hanoi. It’s truly an experience making love in a cabin overlooking the islands.
I took this package because I like vintage boats. The cabin in solid wood was fantastic. But there are also modern cruises if you aren’t into old stuff.
Da Nang: Coastal Romance & Mountain Escapes
Da Nang is the best beach destination in my opinion. It has a relaxed beach-town vibe mixed with stunning mountain backdrops, making it incredibly easy to plan memorable experiences.
Let’s start with the must-do with your beautiful companion…
- Ba Na Hills
This area has plenty of things to see and do, in fact, it takes the full day to explore it.
I can guarantee that she’ll love to spend a day with you around Ba Na Hills.
I recommend taking this tour because it is well organized and hassle-free. They pick you up at the hotel, take you around, and you won’t waste time in queues and traffic. She’ll be impressed by your organizational skills.
- Spend the evening in Hoi An Lantern Town
Just 30 minutes away is Hoi An, a small village where you can have a romantic lantern experience.
It’s so romantic to walk under thousands of lit silk lanterns at night that she’ll melt and be soaked wet for you. There is no better way to finish the day.
Ho Chi Minh City: High Energy City
Saigon is the most open-minded and modern city in Vietnam. Great place to experience the high lifestyle.
Let’s start with this classic and romantic option:
- Dinner Cruise Over the Saigon River
This elegant dinner cruise will impress her. Not only do they offer a great buffet dinner, but there is live music, and they’ll pick up at the hotel.
You’ll board with light dimming, just in time to enjoy the sunset. She’ll love it!
- Discover the Cocktail Lounges
Saigon has one of the most vibrant, hidden cocktail bar scenes in Vietnam.
There are alleys with old apartment buildings that have hidden entrances, making it more fun. Or go for a rooftop experience overlooking the city.
