12:33 am
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 i was hired for this 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. 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 or he had 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. one interesting thing is that we have well known protagonists from various areas like. design indian fashion. and the
12:34 am
cullen area. as well as new come in and listen and women all over and it's this mixture using the personal tips that gives the book its authenticity tips to express i'll take the social side of as an expert what makes berlin a good travel destination for women expect as it's happening. this is the diversity which perhaps encompasses femininity a wilder form of femininity a form from my piece tries this was it as something on grass with uncontrollable contradictions. it makes some against this overwhelming desire of peace and quiet but then they plunge back into the thick of it kid anything's possible now has it all and this for years that has little and women like i once we're done with our coffee we should check out the area. the time of the fire but i can't wait.
12:35 am
to just top priority is feeling comfortable while traveling our first recommendation is just a few blocks away krupa store front for a small fashion label in. 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 made here is not unlike berlin unconventional and cool but be advised 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 was where are we. here. that might sound
12:36 am
a little strange at first but it's an unbelievably lovely place one that wounds the cockles of you somehow it's also incredibly beautiful in the summertime. it's an oasis of tranquility amidst the hostler. i myself moved to berlin some nine years ago nonetheless i keep discovering new spots around town just like today thanks to chips but of course i too have a long list of recommendations for a visit to the german capital there's a couple of them. all whether you like culture shopping enjoying the outdoors or eating well berlin has something for everyone on my ship for culture vultures how. 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 metres. when i want to shop
12:37 am
i head for the streets around the find myself trust a subway station and it's like a huge open air mall big brands independent designers fashion interior design here you can find it all but the where you can also burn through a lot of money here and record time. birdman 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. last but not least my restaurant to this she she means friday in hebrew but this restaurant is full every day of the week tucked away in a. and
12:38 am
a script courtyard in kreisberg that offers mediterranean cuisine tasty cocktails and friendly service. for. a little wouldn't be what it is without its remarkable women. to retrace their footsteps in the city center and tell stories you likely won't find in a guidebook the first stop. 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
12:39 am
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 who wouldn't 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 nefertiti she was a proud beautiful old woman back in the fourteenth century b.c. she was said to have had many admirers. and some things just never change.
12:40 am
also then the whole reach for the orient hit the bust wears thick eyeliner and it looks great so in the twenty's lots of people here started applying thick eyeliner to look like now for t.-t. for the wonderful teacher. 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 like you know on 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. time east berlin she probably had maybe begun to imagine that she would one day be the chancellor of every unified germany. our last stop is the berlin cathedral
12:41 am
the german capital's most famous place of worship has a female master builder salata hall is the first woman to hold the job and only one of many women shaping the city's paths and presence. and that's it isn't 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 brasilia the capital of brazil my name is julie and i'm going to if you schmidt's about 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 a view from here we're in the government district the center of power and power.

12:43 am
and the other end of the monumental axis is presenting his landmark the t.v. tower. is two hundred twenty four meters it's the city's tallest structure. but it has only been the capital of brazil since nine hundred sixty before that it was rio de janeiro. would do this if he was built from scratch in the virtually unpopulated center of the country and. the house at the fence of the t.v. tower i'm ok just held on weekends with food and music. you can find a snack that's really popular in brazil. and. that's sugarcane juice and it's raw and pastry but appetit. was.

12:45 am
some time but until then right down to. time for my next date and meeting 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 delicious fair trade coffee. that kind of awareness is also reflected in offers at the women's travel agency. 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.
12:46 am
for every trip we book a female travel guide who can really let you explore the land and you're always meeting people that's also the sustainability aspect. not just you know how it was right what kind of travel means to women have that are different than those of men because what you're describing definitely sounds appealing to travelers of all genders. if one is going to be because we don't really consider men's needs because we've never had to deal with say. we look at what our women customers will. and 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 for us. in germany women only travel rose out of the feminist movement so around one nine hundred eighty before i was even born. in one function feminists and lesbians wanted to have spaces for themselves also women's hotels and women's museums sprung up though it was
12:47 am
a little bit scattered. to the states but today demand continues to grow and we now have one thousand three hundred women clients per year and not one of them make it was them in security an issue at all. as a de 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. 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 absolutely 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 now men are the reason why women want to be among themselves while travelling they're starting to find that more and more options are out there. the spanish islands of
