Chennai, a historic city, is one of the four large metropolitan cities of India. Located in Tamil Nadu, on India's South East coast, it is a center for commerce and industry, the home of South Indian classical music, the Bharatanatyam dance tradition and the center of the Tamil film industry. Known for its warm and friendly Tamil people, washed by the waters of the Bay of Bengal, blessed with sunny weather for most of the year, Chennai is a must-visit destination for tourists to India.
Because of its location, Chennai is an ideal starting point from which to begin your tour of South India. Chennai is truly the heart of South Indian culture and that becomes evident when one visits the several Tourist Attractions in Chennai. Travel to the beaches of Mahabalipuram and the temples of South India, browse through the markets for fine cotton and silk fabrics made by master craftsmen, take a ship or plane across the Bay of Bengal to the pristine Andaman Islands - you can do all this and more when you begin your tour to South India, from Chennai.
