If you never went through an emo phase, you might think it s weird that people like to visit cemeteries. And sure, some can be sad, uncared for, and small, but there are other cemeteries that are basically a combination art gallery and beautiful park.
Pere Lachaise in Paris might be the most stunning of them all. As the Encyclopedia Britannica notes, it s probably the most visited cemetery in the world (it s impossible to know for sure, since Pere Lachaise, like most cemeteries, doesn t actually count up the people who come there, but the superlative is generally accepted by people who know about these things.)
