Things to do in Chennai

I stayed in Chennai for 5 years from 2014 to 2019 and indulged myself in various activities. I am back to Chennai in 2025, so here is a list of things one can do if you are new to Chennai. I am trying to create a list of places and activities where I have been to, have seen or at the least heard of them. This list is to curate things that Chennai offers. If you are looking for the best food spots then this will not be useful for you. This list is more focused on activities, hobbies, sports, etc....

So the list will concentrate on the main part of Chennai, sorry for those who are staying in Chennai ku Miga arugamayil areas.

I would separate things to do in different parts. Like Locations, Communities, Spaces,... etc. Will be updating the links too at the end once I have finished the full post.

Spaces:

Spaces are great because if you follow these accounts I think you might get a good number of workshops and events happening in around Chennai. In the brackets, will add main keywords to get an idea on most of the events happening in the space and what you can expect.

Communities:

Now let's talk communities. There are multiple communities for niche interests. I will be listing all the communities I have seen and attended one of the meetups conducted by the communities. Some might be paid some might be free, I am just a milkman delivering milk you have to pay if it cost's you. Hehe.
