Suggested romantic experiences for couples

Every trip is an experience for couples to bond and create more wonderful moments together. A trip to Saigon, the most dynamic city in Vietnam, where many cultures meet and still cannot hide the charm of the people here, will definitely bring you and your lover unforgettable moments. We have prepared a list of memorable experiences below just for you.

Whispers in the wind

Saigon treats visitors with romantic afternoons, when the sunset falls on the other side of the city, cool breezes blow into every street and tree canopy, making the heat of the day seem to cool down. That’s when you and your lover can sit together in the riverside bars, or at Rooty located on the top floor of The Myst Dong Khoi hotel, order the signature cocktails of the bar, or start with a sparkling bottle of rosé to listen to the wind from the Saigon River gently brushing through your hair in a space just for each other, listening to each other more than listening to the world.

Saigon has countless restaurant options for romantic evenings, but we want to introduce to you Saigon Princess Cruise, one of the most gentle ways to feel the magic of the city with your lover. An intimate date on a cruise is not only enjoying delicious food together, but also a near-perfect experience of emotions. Gently drifting through the heart of the bustling city, watching the tall buildings gradually light up, in the melodious music, soft candlelight and local dishes with a modern twist. The sparkling city and cool river breeze seem to embrace gentle handshakes.

Discover Saigon in every footstep

If this is your first time in Saigon, a journey to explore the city’s history and architecture is a great way to capture memorable moments together. This city is not only about modern skyscrapers or bustling crowds, but also about preserving many past stories told through yellow brick walls, curved tiled roofs and French windows.

Starting from The Myst Dong Khoi Hotel, walk against the traffic on Dong Khoi Street to reach Notre Dame Cathedral and the City Post Office, where the architecture from the French colonial period is still preserved after hundreds of years. Walk through the shady park to reach the Independence Palace, a historical symbol in the heart of the city, where every room and hallway bears traces of time. 

Not far from the Independence Palace is the City Museum, and a few blocks away is the Museum of Fine Arts, both of these ancient buildings preserve the stories of the city, and the emotional works of art from many periods are blended and interwoven. With each step, you not only explore the city, but also weave gentle, profound memories, like the way love is nurtured through seemingly simple moments.

Pamper your bodies-minds-spirits together

After a day of strolling through the ancient architecture and tree-lined streets of the city centre, pamper your body and mind with a relaxing couple experience at KL Spa. Nestled in a small alley beside The Myst Dong Khoi hotel, KL Spa is the perfect stop for those who want to end their journey of exploring the city in absolute comfort.

KL Spa offers treatments designed specifically for couples such as a relaxing herbal package with a gentle body massage for 60 or 90 minutes combined with natural aromas, or a 60-minute hot stone foot massage for tired feet after a long day of exploring. For a more complete experience, the KL Signature package will take you and your loved one on a journey of energy regeneration with techniques combining Thai and Swedish massage. Private double room space, soft lighting, and a faint scent of essential oils are all designed so that the two of you can relax, connect, and listen to your heartbeat in silence.

Hand in hand – enjoy the cultural beat of the city

Besides bustling Saigon, there are also diverse cultural spaces suitable for romantic evenings for couples. It is said that looking at the cultural picture of each city will reveal the sophistication and depth of that place. Therefore, do not hesitate to hold your lover’s hand and spend an hour at the À Ố show at the City Theater. À Ố show is a modern performance space that combines dance, bamboo circus, and folk music, telling the story of Vietnam through a captivating artistic language. The ancient French architectural space inside the City Theater is both classic and romantic, the perfect backdrop for the two of you to feel every moment.

Or you can take the time to visit Quang San Art Museum, although a bit far from the city center, this is the first private museum in Ho Chi Minh City dedicated to Vietnamese fine arts, displaying more than 1,500 works from the Indochina period to modern times. The galleries on 3 floors of this private museum are like a journey through layers of memories, emotions and identities, ideal for couples who want to feel more deeply about culture and history with their eyes and hearts.

In addition, a gentle and emotional space like Galerie Quynh is also a great choice. It displays contemporary art exhibitions with strict and sophisticated curation, helping the two of you to stand in front of the works, share your feelings and let art connect your souls.

Saigon always has countless interactive experiences that leave a mark for every couple, sign up for urban sketching classes, pottery making, or contact the Front Office staff of The Myst Dong Khoi hotel to sign up for Vietnamese cooking classes for couples and families at The Nest restaurant to create new miracles together with your hands, smiles and harmony. Because love sometimes does not need words, just living slowly and creating unforgettable gentle memories together.

Welcome the dawn on the running routes

When the city is still sleeping, there is nothing better than touching that moment with steady steps in various running races for all ages and all paces held regularly in Saigon.

Over 10 seasons, the program has successfully performed surgery on more than 1,700 hearts. Not simply a sporting event, Run For The Heart is also a bridge connecting thousands of kind hearts.

HCMC SkyRun (expected October 26, 2025) is a different urban experience as you climb each high step to touch the light, amidst the atmosphere of Saigon starting to surge with energy of a new day.
