The cheapest time to visit Chennai is during the summer season between April and June. At this time the weather is hot and humid, reaching up to 108 degrees during the day. In the evening, temperatures cool off, dropping down to 75 degrees. The Monsoon season brings lots of rain, between the months of June and September, continuing again from October to December. If you don’t mind the weather, you can find cheap tickets during the school holidays in July and August.
Trains are a reliable and convenient way to travel around the city and can be a preferred option over taxis as roads are quite congested.

Make sure you book your train tickets in advance if you are planning to visit any of them. The suburban network train service travels across the city. Buses are another option and ideal when traveling to Marina Beach.
