Berlin: Now and Then
—Mike Corsini
Berlin, Germany's capital, is a vibrant city. In recent years, many young artists and creative thinkers from around the world have immigrated there and transformed the city into an international cultural center. This July, several art and music events take place in Berlin, making it a good month to visit.
One major art event is the Berlin Biennale. Spread across various locations in Berlin, it uses the city as a ground for artistic expression. The event is organized by different people each time, so the flavor is never the same. This year, it's organized by a group of New York–based artists, whose works cut across boundaries separating fashion, music, pop culture, and digital technology.
Music fans can go to the Classic Open Air Festival in the Gendarmenmarkt, one of Berlin's most beautiful squares. There, they can relax and enjoy both modern and classical music—opera, rock, jazz, and pop—performed under the starry sky.
Another memorable experience is offered at Botanical Night, where trees, flowers, and other plant life are lit up and decorated to create a fairy-tale setting. Visitors can take a tour, watch dance performances, sample the food, or simply wander around until the night comes to a close under the bright glow of fireworks.
柏林：結合歷史藝術的深度旅遊
柏林是德國首都，也是活力十足的城市。近年來，許多來自世界各地的年輕藝術家和創意思想家移居到這裡，並把這座城市改造成一個國際文化中心。今年七月，好幾個藝術和音樂活動在柏林舉行，讓這個月成為造訪此地的絕佳時機。
其中一項主要的藝術活動是柏林雙年展。雙年展散布在柏林各個不同的地點，利用這個城市作為表達藝術的場所。這項活動每次都由不同的人籌辦，所以風格從不相同。今年是由一群駐在紐約的藝術家主辦，他們的作品超越了分隔時尚、音樂、流行文化和數位科技的界限。
音樂迷可以參加位在御林廣場的「古典露天音樂節」，御林廣場是柏林最美麗的廣場之一。在那裡，樂迷們可以放鬆享受在繁星點點的天空下演出的現代樂和古典樂──歌劇、搖滾、爵士和流行樂。
另一個難忘的經驗是由「植物園之夜」所提供，那裡的樹木、花朵和其他植物都被點亮，並加以裝飾來創造出童話故事般的場景。遊客可以參加導覽、觀賞舞蹈表演、品嚐食物，或者就只是四處走走，直到這個夜晚在明亮絢爛的煙火下畫下句點。
