A Brief introduction to Chennai

Ornate Hindu temples, appetising traditional Tamil cuisine, golden sand beaches, and a scintillating sports scene, await those who visit the coastal paradise of Chennai.

We recommend starting your trip with a visit to Fort St. George. This is one of the first structures built under British rule over 350 years ago and has now been converted into a history museum that details the city’s colonial past. Be sure to also explore the city’s other architectural wonders, including the Chennai Central Railway Station and Ripon Building.

Immerse yourself in India’s Hindu culture by visiting one of the many temples situated in Chennai. Among the most famous is the Kapaleeshwarar Temple, which was built in the 7th century and is dedicated to Lord Shiva.

Be sure to also enjoy Chennai’s thriving sports scene by visiting the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, where you watch the India cricket team or Chennai Super Kings in action.

No trip to Chennai would be complete without indulging in the city’s delicious Tamil cuisine and sampling local favourites such as ‘dosas’ (crisp pancakes) and ‘idlis’ (steamed rice cakes).
