Madurai
Places to visit – 2 days Itinerary
Madurai, the cultural and food capital of Tamilnadu was on our bucket list for a very long time. We (myself, parents, and brother) checked the places to visit in Madurai as we would be spending two days there and came up with the below list. However, due to the last-minute rush, we ended up booking a flight. Madurai airport to the hotel(JC residency) is approximately 20kms and takes about half an hour.
The hotel has rich heritage interiors, elegant rooms, a rooftop restaurant, and wi-fi facility. We spent the remaining day on leisure, taking rest, clicking pictures, and relishing in-house restaurant food.
