Bored on a weekday? Here’s 10 fun things to do in Vizag!

Living in Vizag is truly a blessing. With the luxury of reaching almost any place in under 20 minutes, think of the endless things you can do in a single day! After finishing a long workday, many of us find ourselves stuck in a rut, unsure how to unwind, recharge, or explore our creative side. Here are 10 things to do on a weekday in Vizag to help you relax and make the most of your evenings.

1. Go on a Colour Walk

A colour walk is a mindfulness activity in which you pick a colour and spend your walk spotting as many objects of that colour as you can. Put on your walking shoes and head out for a colour walk. You can take this walk along the beach road or any scenic stretch in the city. It’s simple, grounding, and surprisingly satisfying. Taking a colour walk should be at the top of your list of things to do on a weekday.
Pro Tip: Charge your phone fully, you’ll want to capture the colourful moments you discover along the way!

2. Host a Board Game Night

Whip up some lemonade, call your close-knit gang, and dive into a fun board game session. In a city where everyone lives just a few minutes apart, spontaneous game nights are easy to plan and can easily make it to your list of things to do on a weekday. Whether it’s Monodeal, Codenames, or a classic round of UNO, you’re in for laughter and playful banter.
Pro Tip: Keep a scorecard handy, it’s the best way to settle those “friendly” arguments!

3. Learn a New Instrument

Vizag has plenty of music academies. To name a few, there’s the Vizag School of Music and the Anand School of Music. Learning an instrument like the guitar, keyboard, or drums is a great way to stimulate creativity and is great for de-stressing after work.
Pro Tip: Start with short evening classes to build consistency without burning out.

4. Sketch by the Sea

Pack a bag with your canvas, paints, and stationery, and find a quiet spot by the beach. Let the sound of waves and the hues of the sunset inspire your next masterpiece.
Pro Tip: Decorate your artwork with seashells you find along the shore for an artistic coastal touch.

5. Play a Sport at VUDA Park

For just Rs. 20, you can enter VUDA Park and enjoy a game of badminton, tennis, or basketball. Carry your equipment, gather a few athletic friends, and burn off some steam in the evening air after an eventful work day.
Pro Tip: Badminton courts are on a first-come, first-served basis. So we suggest that you arrive early or be patient. And if you’re playing tennis, don’t forget to bring your own net!

6. Go Thrift Shopping

If you love sustainable fashion, take a detour through Siripuram on your way home. You’ll find local vendors selling everything from trendy T-shirts to breezy summer dresses, perfect for a guilt-free and affordable therapy on a weekday.
Pro Tip: Carry some cash, as not all vendors accept UPI payments.

7. Book a Game of Snooker

Snooker is perfect for two players and doesn’t require a large group. It’s great for improving concentration, hand-eye coordination, and strategy, all while having fun! Here are some places in Vizag that you can head to!
Pro Tip: Book your table in advance to avoid waiting at the arena.

8. Volunteer for a Creative Cause

Vizag offers many opportunities to give back, and the best is to volunteer. You can join a beach cleanup, help with community art walls, or volunteer with local NGOs such as Vizag Volunteers. It’s a rewarding way to make your weekdays more meaningful.
Pro Tip: Check local community pages to find events that align with your interests and schedule.

9. Catch Up Over Coffee

Nothing beats a midweek coffee catch-up with friends. Weekends are often packed with chores and family visits, so why not make time during the week? Pick up your phone and set that long-overdue coffee date.
Pro Tip: Don’t miss the local filter coffee spots as they hit just the right note!

10. Have a Yoga Session with Your Girlfriends

Gather your girls, roll out your colourful yoga mats, and head to Yoga Village for an evening session. Stretch, breathe, and unwind together; it’s the perfect way to end a hectic day.
Pro Tip: Wear light, breathable clothes to enjoy yoga in its purest form.
