Luca FecarottaHi, I'm Luca Fecarotta, founder and head chef of Cucina Luca Italian Restaurant. I've been living in Da Nang for 6 years, I've explored every corner of this beautiful coastal city. I fell in love with the local culture, the cuisine, the beautiful beaches and most of all, I met my wife here.
Da Nang is one of Vietnam’s most balanced destinations for couples — easy to get around, full of variety, and more relaxed than bigger cities. Within a short drive, you’ve got quiet beaches, a lively riverfront, mountaintop viewpoints, and rooftop bars that stay open late. It’s a destination where you can combine local food, scenic rides, and time to simply enjoy the setting. If you’re planning a trip for two, these 10 ideas offer an easy way to start.
Best time to visit: After sunset; Dragon Bridge show every Saturday and Sunday at 9:00 PM
If you’re looking for a simple but romantic spot in the city, Love Bridge is a classic choice. This short pedestrian bridge curves out over the Han River and lights up at night with glowing heart-shaped lanterns. Couples often add a love lock to the railings a quiet but thoughtful tradition.
From the bridge, you’ll have a clear view of Dragon Bridge, especially during its weekend fire and water show. It’s a peaceful place to pause together, whether you’re ending the day or just starting your evening along the river.
Best time to visit: Around 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM, just before sunset
Among all the beaches in Da Nang, My Khe is the most accessible — and easily one of the most romantic places to catch the sunset. The shoreline is long and open, with soft sand and enough space to find a quiet spot, even on busy days. As the sun lowers over the horizon, the sky shifts into deep orange and soft pink, casting warm light across the water. It’s a great time for a slow walk, to sit with your feet in the sand, or simply enjoy the breeze together. For couples staying nearby, this can be a peaceful pre-dinner moment, just steps away from many of the best restaurants in Da Nang.
Best time to visit: Early morning for cooler air and fewer crowds
The Golden Bridge is one of Vietnam’s most photographed landmarks — and for good reason. Suspended in the mountains and held up by two stone hands, it feels more like a set from a movie than part of a resort.
Couples come for the view, the clean mountain air, and the soft morning light that makes the walk feel quiet and elevated, in every sense. The cable car ride up adds to the experience, especially if you go early enough to skip the peak hour buzz.
Best time to visit: Cruises usually begin around 7:00 PM
A slow cruise along the Han River offers a great way to see the city without rushing through it. Most boats pass beneath Da Nang’s famous bridges, including the Dragon Bridge, which lights up every night and hosts a fire-and-water show on weekends. Depending on the boat, you might get live music, a drink service, or a full dinner on board. It’s a calm, easy way to spend an evening — especially if you’ve already done a full day of exploring.
5. Watch the City Lights from the Sun Wheel at Da Nang Downtown
Best time to visit: After sunset, from 6:30 PM – 9:00 PM
The Sun Wheel rises quietly above Da Nang, offering a full view of the skyline, bridges, and even the beach on clear nights. Each cabin seats just two people, which means you can sit in peace and enjoy the city lights without the noise below. It’s a short ride — just enough to take a few photos, look around, and enjoy the view together before heading off to dinner or drinks nearby.
6. Visit the 3D Art Museum for Playful Couple Photos
Art in Paradise is not your usual museum. The entire space is filled with 3D murals and optical illusions that let you step into the artwork. For couples, it’s a chance to laugh, strike silly poses, and take some of your most unexpected travel photos. It’s light, casual, and a fun way to break up a schedule filled with temples, beaches, and viewpoints.
Tucked away on a quiet street near My Khe Beach, Cucina Luca focuses on handmade pasta and traditional Italian recipes. The space is small and warmly lit, with wood interiors and an open kitchen where you can see the chef at work. It’s the kind of dinner spot that feels personal without trying too hard — ideal if you want good food, a bit of quiet, and no fuss.
The restaurant often ranks high among the bestItalian restaurants in Da Nang, especially for those looking for a slower, more thoughtful meal.
Si Dining is an Italian restaurant that brings a touch of Vietnam to its dishes. It sits close to the Han River and offers a peaceful space with open design, soft light, and natural decor. The menu changes daily, based on market ingredients and the vision of Chef Alessio Rasom. With more than 20 years of international culinary experience, he uses top-quality imported products to craft each dish.
Sky 21 sits above the city on the 21st floor, with views that cover the beach, bridges, and lights in every direction. What makes it stand out is the balance — music plays softly enough to talk, tables are spaced out, and the setting never feels rushed. It’s a good place to wind down, share a drink, and look out over the city after a full day. Live acoustic sets are common, and the cocktails cover both local twists and the basics.
10. Cooking Class for Coupleset
For something hands-on and different, cooking classes are a great way to share an activity and learn about local food. Most classes include a visit to the market, where you’ll pick out ingredients, then head back to a kitchen to cook dishes like “bánh xèo”, “gỏi cuốn”, or “phở”. It’s relaxed, guided step by step, and you get to sit down at the end and eat what you’ve made.
