that's because it will. 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 an offer for women travelers. and do women really have different needs and wishes while on vacation than men. joining me on today's journey is my team all women of course.

who would be better at helping me 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. actually as julianna gandolfi schmitz shows those around her hometown brasilia. second year in 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 that is a big city it's home to 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 better right 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 overhaul its cafe on. better magill why did you want to meet here of all places. is a co-working space which very often useful means things work it has a pleasant atmosphere you can concentrate well but i think it's also kind of cozy. for this was the idea behind berlin for women only. a concept a symbol 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. what criteria do a spot a restaurant a store have to me to end up in your guide. they're going to an external criteria they completely personal tips in two thousand and. one interesting thing is that we have well known protagonists from various areas like design fashion architecture and the cullen area. as well as newcomers and listen and women. and it's this mixture personal tips that gives the book its authenticity tips does evoke as that is to express all temptations and as an expert what makes berlin a good travel death. nation for women yeah as a sadness. there is

a diversity which perhaps encompasses femininity a wilder form of femininity a form from my place trite as 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 kid anything's possible now has it all just yet little women like i once we're done with our coffee we should check out the area she lives. on the first day i can't wait for you. just top priority is feeling comfortable while traveling her 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. studio is right behind the store the fashion made 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 fitted like that special atmosphere a key element in all her recommendations was where are we. here at saint hedrick hospital that might sound a little strange at first but it's an unbelievably lovely place one that wins the cockles of you somehow it's also incredibly beautiful in summer time. it's in the races 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. all 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 house of the twentieth century to the present over an area of some ten thousand square metres. when i want to shop i head for the streets around the by my such a subway station in that it is 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. 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 without its remarkable.

retraces their footsteps in the city center and tell stories you likely won't find in a guidebook the first stop close 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 carrying 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. 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 think eyeliner to look like never to teach from the. 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 medical 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. i mean east berlin she probably had maybe begun to imagine that she would one day be the chancellor of every you know five germany. our last stop is the berlin cathedral the german capital's most famous place of worship has a female master builder shylock to have is the first woman to hold the job and only one of many women shaping the city's past and present. and visitors 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 actor is of german descent and wants to show you around the most beautiful spots in her hometown brasilia. hollow 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. this is most important buildings are located here down to the palace to the plan to the seats of government. the supreme coolness the national congress.

the my friend good boy most of the buildings which is. an icon of modern times that in architecture thanks to him brasilia is on the world's cultural heritage list. album. and a lot of friends that is a planned city it's central avenue it's called the monumental access a show monumental in portuguese years because the most important monuments and ministries are found here. and the other end of the monumental axis is presenting this landmark the t.v. tower yeah that's two hundred twenty four meters it's the city's tallest structure . and brazil has only been the capital of presell since nine hundred sixty before

that it was rio de janeiro and he would do this if he was built from scratch in the virtually unpopulated center of the country and. also how does the fact 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 try and pastry but apathy. was. i was. i was i was egypt i play the music brazil spain is full some. here think being this is like i don't know you can stroll along the shore which

already it's about which vision i want to meet. i know but i know it's an artificial lake it was created to supply the city with profits. recently it was built there was little in the area. so yeah here i bid you farewell i hope you enjoyed the two and what's coming up at some time but until then i'll write down. time for my next date i mean back she works for women fair travel an agency that organizes trips only her 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 and 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. for every trip we took a female travel guide who can really let you explore the land and you're always meeting people there's also the sustainability aspect. not just you know how it was but what kind of travel it 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 gonna study because we don't really consider men's needs because we've never had to deal with what 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 feminists and most wanted to have spaces for themselves also women's hotels and women's museums sprung up though it was a model that scattered. to the state one day demand continues to grow and we now have one thousand three hundred women clients per year. not one of them maybe it was them insecurity an issue at all. as a deal 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 around the globe. the spanish islands of the perfect place to party somebody. and swim. and starting in april it will have yet another attraction because first women only hotel. men and children. reactions to the concept differ. by

greely like it's peer relaxation without being ogled by men and having a break from the kid. it's great that. with her it's nice for women who want to holiday on my your get peace without being passed about men on the other hand if you're here looking for a partner good stuff not only not the right road to be going to follow when women are on 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 we have an ism.

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

a holiday taking get away from it all including husbands and children. it's. next i'm going to visit the show go public in crowds 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 and 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 the hamam 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 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 france yourselves for some.
