The 20 Most Beautiful Cemeteries Around the World

When traveling, we often find ourselves drawn to the big name attractions, and the more festive side of things. It is less often that we think of graveyards, and typically, the spooky cemetery is what comes to mind when we do. We rarely consider the cemetery visit to bring hope, inspiration, and a sense of history to its visitors, but that is exactly what famous cemeteries can do. To walk through old graveyards is to walk down memory lane. A chance to not just remember, but to celebrate not only your life, but the lives of those who came before you. If you have been considering a more quiet, introspective getaway, a graveyard holiday could be just right for you.
