Gallery Nights! Don't miss it!

GALLERY NIGHTS, whether you are an art connoisseur or just an admirer of it, you don't want to miss it! If you are visiting during the last Friday of a month, except during summer time(January and February), check it out. Each Gallery Night there is a new route and tour of the galleries. Some businesses feature an artist's display for the evening and regular art galleries along the route are open. All are serving a free glass of champagne and offering an opportunity to meet the artists as you admire their creations. You can see the route of the tour on a map before you head out. Just go to the website I linked in the beginning sentence and you can translate it easily with babel fish. Once you arrive at any of the 60 or so galleries, they will give you a brochure of the evening's gallery tour locations with a map of the route. So you walk a little, admire some art, drink some champagne, and watch the streets come ALIVE with people all dressed for the occasion.
