    12 January 2014 National: Chennai in NYT’s ‘52 places to go in 2014’ list Chennai has been chosen as one of the 52 places in the world worth a visit this year.

The city boasts of being a national cultural capital and home to several dance and music schools. Featuring at the top of NYT’s list is Cape Town, South Africa, which has continued to attract tourists from across the globe for its amazing beaches and nightlife. Other places include Downtown in Los Angeles, Namibia, Seychelles, Ecuador, Arctic Circle, Nepal, and Niagara Falls.
