Serene beaches, a motley assortment of architectural wonders and numerous eateries offering delectable local as well as international fare—there are many places to visit in Chennai that will fill you up with charming experiences. Relive the days of the Chola and Chalukya dynasties at the Government Museum, take a walk down India’s first fortress built by the East India Company in the 17th century, or observe classic Dravidian architecture at the Kapaleshwar temple at Mylapore. For those who love outdoors, the campus of the Theosophical Society at Adyar is the place to be. Take a pleasant stroll at the tree-lined pathways before heading towards San Thome Church. A striking contrast to the Dravidian architecture of the Kapaleshwar temple, this neo-Gothic cathedral is a treat to the eyes. Offering an eclectic mix of temples, churches, mosques, parks, and forts, a tour of Chennai will leave you coming back for more.
