Chennai: India’s dynamic metropolis

Book your visit to Chennai

As the thriving capital of Tamil Nadu in India, Chennai offers a captivating blend of tradition and modernity, making it an exceptional destination for a holiday or business trip. Despite its rapid modernisation, Chennai has retained its traditional charm.

Nestled along the Coromandel Coast, this dynamic city boasts a rich tapestry of cultural heritage, unique experiences and an incredible gastronomic and shopping landscape. Marvel at remarkable temples, discover awe-inspiring green spaces or relax on a magnificent beach.

Embark on a journey to Chennai – a city that promises an enriching and unforgettable experience. 

Things to do in Chennai

Begin your expedition in a city overflowing with history at Fort St. George, the first British fortress in India. This historical site now serves as a museum showcasing artefacts from the colonial period. To go deeper into India’s past, explore the Government Museum. As one of the oldest museums in India, it features an extensive collection of archaeological artefacts and Roman antiques.

Visit the spiritual landmark and architectural wonder of Kapaleeshwarar Temple. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, this Dravidian-style temple is adorned with intricate carvings. Finally, uncover the magnificence of San Thome Basilica. This neo-Gothic building is a design beauty and of great religious significance, having been built over the tomb of Saint Thomas the Apostle.

Activities in Chennai

Hit the slopes in Chennai at Snow Kingdom. This indoor snow theme park provides a delightful escape from Chennai’s tropical climate and is perfect for families to enjoy.

If you’d prefer peace and tranquility, seek spiritual solace at Sri Ramakrishna Math. The serene environment and stunning gardens offer an unsurpassed day retreat. 

No getaway to Chennai is complete without experiencing one of its breathtaking beaches. Marina Beach, one of the world’s longest urban beaches, has radiant sunrise views and a vibrant atmosphere. If you’re hoping for a more laidback ambience, travel to Besant Nagar Beach.

Discover the wonders of Guindy National Park, situated in the middle of Chennai city. The park is home to the endangered Blackbuck, fourteen other species of mammals, several birds and more.

Food in Chennai

Chennai is a true foodie haven – everywhere you look provides a sensory feast that reflects the city’s lively spirit. In George Town and Sowcarpet Market, the street food scene is alive with vendors offering an array of snacks. Try a crispy vada – a doughnut shaped lentil fritter, or a masala dosa – a crunchy crepe filled with spiced potatoes. 

Savour the taste of idiyappam – rice flour noodles pressed into a shape and steamed, and chaat – a crispy fried savoury snack served with a jumble of chickpeas, potatoes, yoghurt sauce and chutney. Wash it all down with a hot cup of chai (spiced tea), typically presented in a clay pot which enhances the flavour and adds an earthy aroma.

Shopping in Chennai

For those seeking contemporary retail therapy, there are numerous malls in Chennai that house a range of international and local brands.

Pangal Road and Ranganthan Street are bustling shopping hubs that stock everything from electronics and textiles to souvenirs and spices.

Look for a beautiful piece of artistic jewellery, presenting a timeless souvenir that also celebrates the region’s legacy. Local artisans create leaf handicrafts too, which make unique home décor pieces. Other craftwork to consider taking home with you include a pattamara mat, metal works and stone carvings. If you are an artisan yourself, you can’t leave Chennai without touring Cotton Alley to browse the vast selection of high-quality cottons.
