Planning a visit to the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm? You are in for a treat! This small museum on Stortorget square in Gamla Stan tells the stories of the people whose ideas changed our world.
When I visited Stockholm, the first thing on my mind was the Nobel Museum, now called the Nobel Prize Museum. It was a pilgrimage for me.

I simply love walking through the squares of European cities. Architectures, sculptures, fountain, cafes, people, discussions, demonstrations, open shows, street performances, etc., are often part of such squares.
A vibrant atmosphere which can instantly energize any soul. Painters, musicians, dancers, stunt men add an extra charm to such esplanades.
One can feel the beating heart of the city while taking a stroll on European squares. They are always buzzing and brimming with life.
Around 11 am, my jet-lagged eyes saw the October morning brimming with autumnal lights for the first time in Berlin.
This year, the 22nd Berlin Festival of Lights will unfold 9–18 October 2026, each evening from 7 PM to 11 PM, transforming historic buildings across the city into canvases of art and illumination.
Summer had trickled into autumn, unlike California, from where I boarded the flight two days back. I treated myself with a cup of coffee and sat down to peep into the city from my hotel window.
It almost felt like a Facebook feed because of its continuously changing scenes. Then I decided to open the window a little and instantly the city came alive.
The aroma from the Pizza shop, the sound of laughter and conversations, and the people made it real and intimate, unlike the virtual world.
The open streets that I could see from above have an allure that’s hard to avoid.
Therefore, without wasting much time, I quickly planned to see the ongoing Festival of Lights in Berlin, Germany and walk the history-filled roads of Berlin.
Keukenhof is the world’s largest flower garden. Located in Lisse, Netherlands, it means “kitchen garden” in Dutch and is also known as the garden of Europe.
This 32 hectare garden with more than 7 million tulips, daffodils and hyacinths offers a rainbow that can be touched. Here I present a photo essay of the world’s most beautiful spring garden.
The epitome of truth is death. Our all anxieties, insecurities in life, desires, failures all come to a halt with death.
We may philosophize or fantasize death, but there is no denying that no one can ever escape the cold hands of the grim reaper.
Poets, painters, musicians or scientists, all express death in many unique ways. One such representation is Gustav Klimt’s Death and Life – a painting which was honored with a first prize at the 1911 International Art Exhibition in Rome.
Klimt believed that this was his most important figurative work.
The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to María Corina Machado for her unwavering commitment to democracy and human rights — a reminder that the pursuit of peace is as urgent and vital as ever.
Every October, as the world turns its gaze to Oslo, the Nobel Peace Center becomes a living tribute to the individuals and movements shaping a better future.
Today, I will share my experience of visiting the Berlin Wall, which once stood as a stark symbol of division. Yet today, 34 years after its fall on November 9th, 1989, it represents unity and the triumph of freedom.
For nearly three decades, the wall served as a physical and ideological barrier between the Communist and non-Communist worlds, a chilling reminder of the Cold War tensions that gripped the globe.
But on that fateful day in 1989, the world watched in awe as the wall crumbled, opening a path towards a brighter, more unified future.
Standing before the remnants of the wall, I couldn’t help but feel the weight of history and the magnitude of the moment.
The jubilation and celebration that followed were a testament to the enduring power of freedom, a treasure we often take for granted until it’s threatened.
Join me as I delve into the history of the Berlin Wall, explore its impact on both sides and share personal reflections on what it means to witness such a potent symbol transformed from an embodiment of oppression and division into a monument to hope and unity.
Today, I am going to share the chilling history I witnessed firsthand during my visit to Auschwitz Concentration Camp.
Thousands of prisoners were forced to walk the tragic road of death under the horrific regime of Adolf Hitler.
Hello. My name is Chirasree. I have been traveling for almost 15 years to places all over the world. I enter into a separate reality during my travels and enjoy the allure of escape from the mundane. I seek beauty through nature and human-made creations. Because beauty is powerful. I seek knowledge. I observe, absorb, and write about the places I visit and the profound realizations and inspirations that each place has to offer.
I lived in Switzerland for six years and dwelled in absolute beauty, day and night. The house of Charlie Chaplin in Vevey, the house of [...]
