<p>I think the title says it all.I know that an enlightened person's soul will go to nirvana after their death, but what is really nirvana? 
Is it some kind of a place or something like that?</p>

Welcome to the site. When you tagged the question 'tibetan-buddhism', is that because you want answers that are from the perspective of specifically-Tibetan Buddhism, and explicitly not from the perspective of e.g. Theravada Buddhism?

I really doubt it is somethings that can be defined explicitly. It is easier to say what it not than to say what it is. I was taught by a monk that the one of the greatest lies that we can say is to define nirvana wrongly. According to him it cannot be defined
