For the visitors, Chennai holds an immediate and enduring fascination. The reason is obvious. It is home to some of the finest collections of colonial architecture. With so much to see in and around Chennai, a holiday in this charming city in South India is a rewarding and intense experience.
The major highlights of the city are the Basilica of San Thome (where Christ's apostle St. Thomas, who's buried there, is said to have preached); St. Thomas Mount (a church marks the spot where St. Thomas is said to have died); and the Church of St. Mary, the oldest Anglican church in India (it's within the walls of Fort St. George, a 17th-century fort). Other highlights of Chennai include the Old Government House; the lighthouse, the central flower market and the fine Marina Beach, one of the longest in the world. Those interested in south Indian art should check out the eclectic Government Museum, which is a treasure trove of old bronze and stone sculpture. Kapaleeswarar, Mallikarjuna and Chennakesava are some of the finest Hindu temples in Chennai which must be visited during your travel to Chennai.
