1. Florence: Boiled Tripe and World Art

The women of the world meet in Florence to show each other art and culture. They are blown away by a very early masterpiece by Michelangelo, revel in the details of a dedicated bag maker, and overcome their reluctance to eat boiled Tripe at a food market in the middle of the city.

2. Madrid: Colorful Capes and the Spanish Krøyer

Madrid is in many ways an overlooked metropolis in Europe, according to the women of the world. They will try to change that with their visit to the Spanish capital, where they experience flamenco dancing up close, swing the scissors at a cape tailor, and avoid the city's largest museums in order instead to get acquainted with the painter Joaquin Sorolla, Spain's answer to the Danish Skagen painter, Krøyer.

3. Paris: Colorful Fireworks and Greasy Frog Legs

The women of the world are particularly well-versed in Paris. They skip all the well-known tourist attractions and instead find their way to a relatively unknown museum, a brand new fashion gallery, and some completely unique, old arcades to experience art and culture in Paris.

4. Edinburgh: Designer Kilts and Vibrant City Culture

The football song 'Re-Sepp-Ten' set to bagpipe music, a painting of a skating priest and a contemporary version of the classic tartan kilt are among the experiences when the women of the world head to Scotland to introduce each other to art and culture in Edinburgh.
