X User Says She Prefers Hyderabad Over Mumbai & Bengaluru
Lived in Hyderabad for a year and I would any day choose Hyd over Bangalore and Mumbai.
This city is so underrated, in terms of everything.
> Less traffic (comparatively)
> ORR Road for airport (bestest)
> Greenery (literally everywhere)
> Aesthetics (unreal)
> Food (🤌🤤)…— Shweta Kukreja (@ShwetaKukreja_) April 7, 2024

Lived in Hyderabad for 10 yrs. Currently in Mumbai. Prefer Mumbai. Hyderabad is relatively boring, cut off, restaurants/food options are below average, traffic too has deteriorated. That said, the weather is better esp in winters, housing is better, and overall less expensive.

Many rejected the claim and had their own opinion on this debate. Many of these netizens have stayed in these cities and given their honest opinions.
Outside Hitech city area, Hyd feels like Tier-2 city with not much options to hang out unlike BLR, Pune, Mumbai and Delhi-NCR. I found Hyd v boring. Hyd is a safe city and good job opportunities in IT. But its suitable for introvert crowd not extroverts.

Lived for 6 yrs in Hyd.Moved to Blr.Hyd outside Gachibowli is still a tier 2 city.Professional life is a bit on the laid back side. Limited hangout options within or near the city. No good libraries.Blr is more cosmopolitan with fast paced life,great libraries & weekend getaways

Lived in Hyderabad for 8 years. Ran away within a week after resigning big MNC job. One of the reason was the city and its isolation from entire world. No one passes through, for a north indian, except if Hyd is destination for work purposes. Nothing to see around.

Then you haven’t lived in Mumbai
— Jeet Desai (@jeetdesai) April 7, 2024
It’s not hip enough. Not sure about Bangalore as never really been there much but definitely 10 years behind Delhi in terms of culture.
— Mohammad Umair (@omerjerk) April 7, 2024
Well., B’lore’s weather & Mumbai’s vibe! H’bad or no other city can match in India.
— Sri (@Sri_Philips) April 7, 2024
It is perfectly rated, nowhere compared to mumbai.
— Pankaj Singh 🇮🇳 (@aa3pankaj) April 7, 2024
People on the internet had questions about Hyderabad’s safety, climate, and pollution levels as well.
Can one roam at night 3 Am on streets …
Like we do in #Mumbai /?
Can a girl worry free wear whatever she wants and go to A to B To C like in Mumbai
No right!?

What about Climate? 😃
— Swaroop Mishra (@Swarooprm7) April 7, 2024
what about the scorching heat?
— Finance💰 Films 🎬 Tech 📱 (@souvikdas17) April 8, 2024
Always felt Hyderabad little hotter compared to Bengaluru but looks like now even bengaluru is suffering from heat wave….
Mumbai have that sticky heat unbearable at day time …— Vineet Joshi (@BonafideVJ) April 7, 2024
But how about the insane amount of dust in Hyderabad. Just awful walking the streets or cycling. You can literally feel your nose hair trying hard to filter it out.
— Harry (@Martian2025) April 7, 2024
Some people even warned her not to hype it or the city might suffer like Bengaluru.
We hyped Pune and its so messed up! Don’t hype! Say Hyderabad is avg or mediocre! 😂
— Kiran Khedeka₹ (@Kiran_Khedekar) April 7, 2024
Please do not hype it up. Do not want it to turn into the next bengaluru or mumbai 🥲
— Killer Trader (@KillerTrader_) April 7, 2024
Don’t hype this city more , same was done to Blr and it’s now screwed. Hyd should remain as is without adding more ppl
— Kiran G (@kirangudimetla) April 7, 2024
Hyderabad is one step away from Bangalore (same for Pune 😑🤷🏽
