Is the sentence well-structured?
Hi!
Is the sentence well structured?
Up until now, Berlin is the second most important city for my artistic life, right after Barcelona.
I have also heard the use of phrase "to date". Could I use it here? "To date, Berlin is the second most important city for my artistic life, right after Barcelona."
Thank you a lot!

Dear Ayan
To date / until now / up to now /, Berlin has been the second most important city in terms of my artistic life, right after Barcelona."
You need present perfect here. "To date" is good and in fact better here, because a clause with "until now / up to now" often introduces a
change to the current situation. "To date" does not imply any information abou
