Mumbai doesn’t really do subtle, and Valentine’s Day is no exception. The city can go full Bollywood mode with hearts in local trains, pink desserts, and restaurants filled with “table for two” candlelit reservations. If you are freshly single, heartbroken, or just deeply allergic to performative romance, Cupid’s day can feel exhausting. However, Mumbai is also the perfect city to opt out of the script. Disappear into a solo movie date, dance the night away with your girl gang, and spend money on street shops like there’s no tomorrow. If you are firmly in your anti-Valentine’s era, we have rounded up the best things to do for singles this Valentine’s Day in Mumbai.
Coupled up and loving it? We have the most romantic date ideas and a list of the perfect plans for Valentine’s Day.
