Old World Meets New in San Juan, Puerto Rico

05 Visit the Cemetery with a View

When traveling abroad, cemeteries aren't usually at the top of your itinerary. The Santa María Magdalena de Pazzis Cemetery, however, is unlike others you'll see in your lifetime. Perched on a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this peaceful 19th-century memorial park bears a stunning view. Upon seeing the Colonial-era mausoleum, intricate sculptures, and elaborate tombstones, you'll understand why locals pay top dollar for a gravesite here. Admission is free during opening hours, so feel free to wander the grounds.
