Explore Fort St. George to see artifacts from British colonial times, and stop by the Government Museum for ancient artifacts and art. For nature lovers, Guindy National Park offers a peaceful escape, or you can relax at the quieter Elliot’s Beach. Just outside Chennai, Mahabalipuram’s rock-cut temples are must-see. Visit Valluvar Kottam, a unique monument, and Dakshin Chitra, a cultural village, to experience local traditions. End your day at the Chennai Lighthouse for a stunning view of the coastline.
