About Travel to Chennai
Chennai is one of India’s most exciting cities and, with a population of over 7 million, one its largest. Modernity and history mix together in this city, as do commerce and tradition. There is plenty to commend Chennai to visitors, 4 million of which it typically attracts in a normal year. In terms of things to do and places to see Chennai has it all, along with great food, good transport links and a wide selection of hotels to suit all budgets.

The defining characteristic of Chennai as a city is its coastal location. Chennai has 10 beaches within the city limits which are the social centres of the city, although they aren’t swimming and sunbathing beaches. The 13 km Marina beach features a 6 km promenade which is lined with food stalls. Late afternoon and early evening this area is generally packed with people enjoying the cooler weather, playing sport and enjoying a snack. Chennai also has plenty of historical buildings dating back to the time the city was part of the British Empire including the Gothic style Chennai Central Railway, designed by a British architect, Fort St. George, created by the British East India Company in the 17th Century, and St. Mary’s Church, which is the oldest British church in India. For fantastic South Indian architecture we recommend taking a trip 55 km to the south of the city centre to Mahabalipuram, which features over 400 monuments and temples created in the 7th and 8th Centuries.
