Top Attractions in Chennai

Chennai’s landmarks sit in clusters, and the coast ties most of them together.

  • Marina Beach: One of the longest urban beaches in the country. Walk the promenade and skip the midday sun.
  • Kapaleeshwarar Temple: The Mylapore temple with a tall painted gopuram and a tank behind it.
  • Fort St George: The oldest British fort in India, with a museum of colonial era objects inside.
  • Government Museum: The Egmore complex holds bronzes, archaeology and natural history across several buildings.
  • Santhome Basilica: A white church on the coast, built over the tomb of St Thomas.

City Circuit: Mylapore and Santhome sit close together. Egmore and the fort make a second trip.

Beach Visit: Swimming is not advised along Marina. Stay on the sand and follow the posted warnings.

The range of what survives here, from temples to forts to churches, is the point.

Things to Do in Chennai

Away from the monuments, Chennai is neighbourhoods, filter coffee and music season.

  • Explore Mylapore on foot: Flower sellers, brass shops and old houses in the streets around the temple tank.
  • Enjoy a local breakfast: Idli, dosa or pongal with filter coffee, best eaten before nine in the morning.
  • Shop in T Nagar: Sarees and fabric in enormous quantities, with crowds to match on weekends.
  • Attend a cultural performance: Carnatic music and Bharatanatyam run through the December season and at venues year round.
  • Spend an evening in Besant Nagar: Elliot’s Beach, a walk along the shore and cafés a street behind it.

Performance Planning: Book ahead during the December music season. The popular sabhas fill quickly.

Getting Around: The city is spread out. Pairing distant neighbourhoods in one day rarely works.

Food and music here are worth as much of your time as the sightseeing.
