Bukit Brown Cemetery

Naturally, the Young family’s grand-patriarch rests at Bukit Brown Cemetery, Singapore’s oldest memorial garden and the resting place of many of the country’s founding fathers. It stopped accepting burials in the 1970s, and the expanse has become a lush evergreen forest. Take a guided walk to appreciate the abundance of rare local flora, or wander around on your own just like Astrid Leong, Nick’s fashionable well-to-do cousin. As you stroll around, spot different ornate gravestones that blend Chinese, Peranakan, and Indian motifs.

The 100-year-old gravestones are worth more than a quick look while enjoying a quiet walk throughout the area.
Catacombs of Paris
Six million bones and skulls from the late 19th century! It is considered one of the creepiest places in the world and also one of the largest graveyards. The tunnels are over 200 miles long but only a small section is for tourism. Allow 45 minutes to walk through. Enjoy!
