Chennai India has some wonderful sights that could occupy 3 to 4 days of tourism. It is best to visit Chennai December through February when the temperatures average 80F/26C.
This video includes the best sights including the wide Marina Beach, the temples of Sri Parthasarathy, Kapaleeshwar, and Marundeeswarar. The British influence can be seen Fort St George San Thome Church, and Higginbothams Bookstore. Book lovers will enjoy the handmade books from Tara Books, and AMM Screens. South of the city is the Madras Crocodile Bank and the Unesco Monuments at Mahabalipuram including the Shore Temple. Uber is a convenient way to get around although an Auto rickshaw is worth doing at least once if you insist they use the meter.
Not included in the video is shopping at Pondy Bazaar, and the wonderful food of The Marina, ITC Grand Chola, The Raintree Hotels, Barbeque Nation, and Saravana Bhavan Restaurant.
