A brief introduction to Chennai

A combination of ornate Hindu temples, delicious traditional Tamil cuisine and wide, golden sand beaches make up the coastal city of Chennai, India.

Fort St. George was one of the first structures built under British rule more than 350 years ago and is now a history museum where visitors can explore the city’s colonial past. The city’s architecture is something to behold, as European and Indian features blend on buildings such as the Chennai Central Railway Station, Ripon Building and the Government Building.

History and culture lovers should visit one of Chennai's many Hindu temples. Grand and ornate, these landmarks feature decorative sculptures of Hindu gods carved into their towering walls. One of the most famous is the Kapaleeshwarar Temple. Located in the Mylapore neighbourhood, this temple was built in the 7th century and is dedicated to the god of Shiva.

To sample the riches of Chennai cuisine, make the most of a Tamil breakfast, which can be found in most local restaurants across the city. The meal includes a wide selection of vegetarian and rice-based dishes, with specialities such as dosas (crisp pancakes) and idli (steamed rice cakes). There are also dozens of food vendors lining up on Marina Beach, the world’s second longest beach and a popular tourist destination.
