The fort lies on Rajaji Road near the Legislature and Secretariat. Ask the driver for the gate closest to your visit. High Court is the nearest metro station, and a Secretariat bus stop is close by.

Transfer from Chennai Airport to Fort Saint George
The journey starts on GST Road (NH45), which links the airport to Kathipara Junction, a six-lane cloverleaf where four major roads meet. From there Anna Salai runs north past Guindy and crosses the 500 m Anna Flyover. Along the way you pass the Government Estate metro station as the view shifts to dense commercial streets.
Your driver meets you at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of the terminal where you land, holding a name sign. Allow 45 to 60 minutes of driving, more during the peaks around 8:30 to 10:30 AM and 5:30 to 8:00 PM on GST Road. First-time visitors should note the fort stands on Rajaji Road, so confirm the drop-off gate with the driver.
A metro ride on the Blue Line takes about 40 minutes, but it ends at High Court station, leaving a walk or auto to reach Fort. Prepaid taxis at the arrivals counter charge fixed fares by destination, while buses stop at the airport gate but their Fort routes are unclear. A pre-booked private transfer gives one fixed price with all tolls included and a driver who tracks your flight.
