Whether you are honeymooning with your childhood sweetheart or here for your first couples holiday, be prepared to be whisked away by the romance you will find in Hanoi. The city is alive with adventure and delight for you and your partner to make memories that will last a lifetime.
Capture your Wonderful Time
There is no better way for you to capture a memory than through the beauty of a photograph. Pictures will give you something to cherish and remember from your time together. Hanoi offers various photogenic spots, where you will witness the enrichment of your magical romance.
Send a Postcard
A postcard can be an equally romantic gesture – there are so many attractive landmarks around Hanoi, and a hand-written message is one of the most romantic things you can do to stay in contact with someone far away. Hoan Kiem is the perfect place to buy and send a postcard, as it is a favorable tourist area with lots of souvenir shops. There is a post office located around Hoan Kiem Lake, and you can visit here to buy a stamp and send your postcard on to your sweetheart.
Take a Walk by Hoan Kiem Lake
Hoan Kiem Lake is one of the most romantic things to do in Hanoi. It is impossible to walk around this historical body of water and not be whisked away by the romantic atmosphere. You will see couples aplenty around the lake and even wedding photo shoots on some sunny mornings and afternoons.
Visit the Note Café
The Note café may remind you of the film ‘Letters To Juliet’. In this cute café near Hoan Kiem Lake, set within the Old Quarter, customers are free to write notes to stick on the walls of the building. There are three floors, all covered with post-it notes written by travelers and couples from all over the world. Leave a couple’s message as a declaration of love or take a picture of a hand-written message to send to your crush.
Go on a Motorbike Tour
Riding a motorbike through Hanoi can be a really romantic thing to do. There are so many areas for you and your partner to explore together. You can rent a bike to ride yourself, or you can join a motorbike tour where someone will drive you to some of the best areas to see.
Watch the Sunset
Watching the sunset over Hanoi will be a relaxing way for you and your partner to experience the romance of Hanoi.
