donald trump in the twenty twenty alexion. march eighth marks international women's day and for the first time in twenty nineteen it's a holiday in the state of berlin so today i want to see what the german capital has on offer for women travelers. and do women really have different needs and wishes while on vacation than men. from. joining me on today's journey is my team

all women of course. would be better at helping me to get to know the women sandra travel options berlin has to offer than the ladies who shape the city i'm eating an author a tour guide a travel agent and many more there's also this to look forward to. actress juliana gandolfi schmidt's shows us around her hometown brasilia. second year and dana newman shares impressions of her trip to thailand. and we'll take a look at travel destinations that only opened their doors to women. in berlin it is a big city it's. around four million people so naturally there's

a lot to do if you're visiting for first timers it can be tough to figure the city out. is an author who knows berlin like the back of her hand i mean i know there's a writer nice to meet you nice to meet you too this is the book. cove wrote the guide berlin for women only we're meeting at one of her favorite locations to obama's cafe on. better magill why did you want to meet here of all places. is a co-working space which i often useful meetings work it has a pleasant atmosphere you can concentrate well but i think it's also kind of cosy. for us all but there was the idea behind berlin for women only. the concept is simple with a city the publisher nicole traveled a great deal as a journalist from

a distance and in some cities she didn't have any female friends. so that god was perhaps designed to be a friend at his side to provide tips from women for women without excluding men but it gives you tips to discover your own version of good and what criteria do a spot at a restaurant a store have to me to end up in your guide. they're going to an external criteria they completely personal tips. on this flight one interesting thing is that we have a well known protagonists from various areas like design fashion architecture and the cullen area. as well as newcomers unless the no no women becomes over and it's this mixture personal tips that gives the book its authenticity tips to express all temptations. as an expert what makes. a good travel destination for

women yeah i just had an if this is the diversity which perhaps encompasses femininity a wilder form of femininity a form from my place tries this was it has something on grass with uncontrollable contradictions. it makes some against us overwhelming desire peace and quiet but then they plunge back into the thick of it anything's possible now has it all just yet but has little women like you once we're done with our coffee we should check out the area she lives. on the fire i can't wait. to just top priority is feeling comfortable while travelling her first recommendation is just a few blocks away krupa store front for a small fashion label in trust. with. the concept of the store fashion designed for women by women everything is made in and around berlin

and materials are imported exclusively from countries in europe. the studio is right behind the store the fashion make here is not unlike berlin unconventional and cool but. it's not a place for bargain hunters. our next stop on the other hand is free not a place you'd expect to find in a travel guide like that special atmosphere a key element in all her recommendations the one where are we. here at st head. that might sound a little strange at first but it's an unbelievably lovely place one that wins the cockles of your own how it's also incredibly beautiful in summer time. it's an oasis of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle.

i myself moved to berlin some nine years ago nonetheless i keep discovering new spots around town just like today thanks to tips but of course i too have a long list of recommendations for a visit to the german capital there's a couple of them. whether you like culture shopping enjoying the outdoors or eating well berlin has something for everyone. my tip for culture vultures how will. this contemporary art museum shows works from the second half of the twentieth century to the present over an area of some ten thousand square meters. when i want to shop i head for the streets around the vine my such a subway station and that's it it's like a huge open air mall big brands independent designers fashion interior design here you can find it all but where you can also burn through

a lot of money here and record time. berlin boasts many parks but my favorite place to enjoy the outdoors is the former airfield at tempelhof airport it's one of the world's biggest inner city green spaces. temple a field is like a cross-section of berlin where everyone has room to do their own thing. and last but not least my restaurant to this she she she she means friday in hebrew but this restaurant is full every day of the week tucked away in a nondescript courtyard in kreisberg that offers mediterranean cuisine tasty cocktails and friendly service. wouldn't be what it is. is without its remarkable women. to

retrace their footsteps in the city center and tell stories you likely won't find in a guide book the first stop was and stops at. a statue here serves as a memorial to a protest movement during the nazi era and nine hundred forty three a group of non jewish women protested tirelessly here for the liberation of their jewish husbands they've been locked up in the building that stood where these modern houses were later built the wives feared their husbands would be deported and stood up against the government a very dangerous thing to do. you know every day several hundred women walked up and down in silent protest some carried signs demanding their husbands release. it went on that way for a week with a thousand women in total after that week the men were released and returned to

their wives. it's not entirely clear whether or not the protests caused the government to back down but the women's extraordinary bravery will always be remembered. on we go to museum island it's five museums are jointly recognized as a unesco world heritage site by far the most famous exhibit here is the bust of an ancient egyptian queen. she was a proud beautiful woman back in the fourteenth century b.c. e. she was said to have had many admirers and some things just never change. course and then the whole reach for the orient hit the bus tours thick eyeliner and it looks great so in the twenty's lots of people here started applying stick eyeliner to look like never. thought it is not far away the home

of another famous woman. so one gets to the right at the bright yellow building in the middle that's where uncle american lives. her official residence is in the chancellor but when elected merkel decided to continue living in her old apartment i was i see the law what most people don't know about america is that she was a squatter twenty shows during her wild youth in the one nine hundred eighty. that was in the g.d.r. east berlin she probably had maybe even begun to imagine that she would one day be the chancellor of every you know if i germany. our last stop is the berlin cathedral the german capitals most famous places of worship has a female master builder shylock the hall is the first woman to hold the job and only one of many women shaping the city's past and present. and visit us and we're all about recommendations for women by women not only here

and berlin so we are not going dollface smith says a brazilian actress of german descent and wants to show you around the most beautiful spots in her hometown brasilia. hatsumi hello and welcome to the capital of brazil my name is really and i'm going to if you schmitz and i'm an actress and my family comes from germany but i was born here and today i'm going to show you my city. here's the view from here we're in the government district the center of power and power. this is most important buildings are located here these. two seats of government. the supreme court and the national congress.

my thumb good boy most of the buildings were designed but also going to be an icon of modern times that in architecture thanks to him brasilia is on the world's cultural heritage list. and a lot of friends that it is a planned city its central avenue is called monumental access monumental important years because the most important monuments and ministries. and the other end of the monumental axis is preserved is landmark the t.v. tower. that's two hundred twenty four meters it's the city's tallest structure. that has only been the capital of brazil since nine hundred sixty before that it

was rio de janeiro. he would do this if he was built from scratch in the virtually unpopulated center of the country. i don't know how. fans of the t.v. tell him ok just hold on weekends with food and music. you can find a snack that's really popular in brazil. and how did you come to. that that's sugarcane juice and if you try and pastry but nobody. was here. i. think. he's been in egypt ok the music brazil's famous full summed up. i. can't think being this is like i don't know you can

stroll along the shore which only right into. vision and what me. that was but i know what is an artificial lake it was created to supply the city with water but that's a façade. a way resent it was built there was little water in the area. so he had that here i bid you farewell i hope you enjoyed the tour what's coming visit some time but until then it's time to. time for my next date when i meet back she works for women fair travel an agency that organizes trips only for women she told me to come to princess cheesecake

a cafe that at least judging by the name is a great fit for today's show here you'll find sweet cakes made from top notch natural ingredients. and fair trade coffee. that kind of awareness is also reflected in offers at the women's travel agency. but what's the concept behind your agency by women as women for travel the focus is on women not only the female travelers but also the women in the destination country. so for every trip we book a female travel guide who can really let you explore the land and you're always meeting people. also the sustainability aspect. what kind of travel me for women have that are different than those of men because what you're describing definitely sounds appealing to travelers of all genders. if

. we don't really consider men's needs because we've never had to deal with that. we look at what our women customers want ninety percent of them are women travelling on their own who want to go in a group to have contact with others and share their experience. in germany women only travel rose out of the feminist movement so around one nine hundred eighty before i was even born. that was. one fun thing feminists and lesbians wanted to have spaces for themselves also women's hotels and women's museums sprung up though it was a model that scattered. all into the state one day demand continues to grow and we now have one thousand three hundred women clients per year and not one of them will make it one of them is security an issue at all. as it is it's not

that fundamental to be honest we might get a few inquiries if something's happened in a destination country then a client might call but with one thousand three hundred clients that happens maybe twice a year. now so it's not a matter of somebody being scared to travel on their own it's more a question of wanting to travel with other women salute they not it's about getting to know other women along the way. and thanks a lot for the talk my pleasure. looks like the demand for travel arrangements focusing on women is on the rise no matter the reason why women want to be among themselves while traveling they're starting to find out more and more options around the globe. the spanish island of is the perfect place to party some based. and swim. starting in april it will have yet another attraction majok is first only hotel. and

children. reactions to the concept differ. really like it's pure relaxation without being overrun by men and having a break from the kids. it's great sums up. the whole it's nice for women who want to holiday on my your get peace without being pestered by men on the other hand if you're here looking for a partner good stuff not only not the right route everybody followed women around their own things get competitive in the evenings they'll be saying what she wears earrings in jewelry has she got it about shoes it's always a competition. even if not everyone is thrilled by the idea of a spanish chain plans to open its women only hotel in porto cristo eastern coast by this spring it expects to have thirty nine rooms ready to accommodate female guests . has nothing to do with feminism.

to all women. lesbians ma their daughters friends relatives the. all women inclusive hotel. hotel just for women might be the latest thing in my yorker but it's nothing new. in finland women even have an entire island all to themselves. until dawn banning open women only hotel by the baltic sea over a decade ago she welcomes mothers and daughters lesbian couples friends. and noisy groups a rapidly growing one is widowed women travelling on their own for the first time after the death of their harkness so. not everyone is as convinced as management here the concept behind the women only hotel will prove to be a hit. to attract many women looking for

a holiday where they can get away from it all including bad husbands and children. next i'm going to visit the show. it's europe's biggest cultural center for women and has a long feminist tradition and berlin created by squatters decades ago the center has reinvented itself over the years on various levels you'll find plenty of offers aimed at women from counseling to sports to carpentry workshop here women can build their own furniture without a guy mansplaining from the sidelines because they aren't allowed in here. one of the centers highlights is the hamam a turkish bath in berlin you'll find a wide variety of spots many of them offering days or time slots reserved specifically just for women in the show that's every day besides that you can treat

yourself to a massage. work up a sweat in the sauna. or just relax in one of the lounges. vacation is the best time to the lax and unwind hour we were down to newman is living proof she and the girlfriend travel to the island of co chang in thailand and brought back a video link you want to run now on to your nearest travel agent brace yourselves for some beauty.

and. it's getting late time to bring the day to a close and in berlin i can even do that surrounded only by women. much of. the ticket to. begin is berlin's only bar that's only for women it's big in the lesbian community but every woman is welcome to take part in workshops and recitals or come to concerts or party tonight it's

also night. and the friends you'll find the bar and plenty of good company. well line is one of the world's most interesting places for members of the l.g. . story clee open minded city home to a vibrant clear scene the city is bars and clubs are legendary and known far and wide but there's also lots of colorful celebrations of pride all over town that. colorful diverse queer collins algy d.t.i. events are huge attractions the acronym stands for lesbian gay bisexual transgender and intersex added celebrations like this people can feel free to express themselves regardless of how they identify every summer hundreds of thousands of people gather in dublin to celebrate christopher street day during the event
