10 Solo Date Places In Hyderabad For Some Much-Needed 'Me Time'

The first solo date idea in Hyderabad that we'd recommend is pretty obvious. Who says movie dates are for couples only? Take yourself on a date at this plush superplex. With no one to quibble with about what movie to watch, book a show to the movie you want to watch at AMB cinemas and splurge away. At the press of a button on your seat, have the whole popcorn for yourself and end the movie with your favourite ice cream. Trust us, it's going to feel so liberating!

If a pamper session is a vibe that matches your solo date idea in Hyderabad, head over to Nail Talk, one of our favourite nail studios in the city. Bang opposite to KBR park, the place resembles a doll house and has great service. Scroll through your Pinterest board (we all have one) and do up your nails as you like – acrylic, gel or a simple and clean manicure. While you are at it, sip some hot tea, spill some tea with a fellow fashionista, and make your nails the talk of the town.  Oh, not just nails, you can also indulge in showing some love to your lashes here.

Want to spend your evenings with the aura of old-world charm? That's one of the best solo things to do in Hyderabad. Drive to Bansilalpet Stepwell in Secunderabad. Sit in the peace and have a slow evening. In the evenings, the stepwell is lit up, and wow! Some galleries will take you back in time and explain their historical relevance. Bonus, you can click some gorgeous selfies and channel your inner photographer for luminous shots of the place.

KBR park never disappoints us when we want to spend the day with ourselves and introspect about well, everything. If you're a morning person (kudos to you), start your day with a refreshing walk here. You never know what you might spot, a peacock, two squirrels dancing, a dog on a walk: we'll leave the possibilities up to your imagination. If you are someone who enjoys evening walks, there's nothing like catching a beautiful sunset amidst the lush green cover of the park. Pop on your headphones, put your comfort playlist on shuffle, and walk your woes away.

Speaking of your favorite books, have you visited this latest book store in Hyderabad yet? Aesthetically soft at every corner, this gorgeous home of books should be on your to-do list for a solo date. Manga, fiction, non-fiction, comics, you will find stories that speak to your soul. What we particularly like about this place is how it has a small section where you can comfortably sit and transport yourself into the pages. We also spotted some kitschy stationary like hard bound dairies, bookmarks, etc.

Solo date with opportunities to meet new people? Head straight to Toops Coffee. This hole-in-the-wall coffee shop is tucked away in the quiet lanes of Jubilee Hills and it's kind of a hidden gem for all the right reasons. Compact with the vibe of a pahadi coffee shop, the brews are bomb like Mazagran and Vietnamese but what makes this special is the people that visit this coffee shop. Artsy and chatty, you are bound to bump into someone with shared interests. You can choose to sit out on cute benches or take a spot inside for faint music as your background. Brownie points? It's pet friendly.
