Women’s Day is an occasion to remember women’s achievements, but it also serves as an opportunity not to forget the violence they have suffered. Throughout history, there have been many revolts made by women for women with the aim of undoing those chains of discrimination and prejudice that still, unfortunately, bind many members of the fairer sex around the world. Although there is still a long way to go, much has been done and many achievements made. Women should be celebrated every day, true, but today is your day dear women and you have the right to live a richer and more inspiring day than others. And devote time to yourselves.
Not sure what to do? Here are some activities for women that will allow you to spend March 8 in a way that is not taken for granted.
These are activities that should be done by anyone, but we want to reserve a dedicated space just for them.
Taste Peck’s delicacies created especially for Women’s Day
On the occasion of National Women’s Day, Peck gives a moment of sweetness. The Milanese haute cuisine brand for March 8 offers “Madame Victoria.” It is a light yogurt mousse, heart of Victoria pineapple pan-fried with Madagascar Burbon vanilla, passion fruit creamy and soft coconut bisque. A must try!
Spice up your creativity under the ultraviolet lights
There is an artist in each of you, unleash your creativity with Neon Brush ‘s Sip & Paint workshop and unleash the Frida Khalo in you! Under ultraviolet lights, accompanied by good music and expert directions, you can experiment with fluorescent paint and bring to life a vibrantly colored masterpiece, which you can then take home at the end of this experience.

“Great Women” is a regular occurrence on March 8 organized by the City of Milan at the Monumental Cemetery. An itinerary that will take you on a discovery of women who made history and showed how emancipation is always possible and not just a man’s prerogative. Famous personalities buried and remembered in one of the most important cemeteries in Italy. From Clara Maffei to Lina Merlin. So many female names that have left their mark.
Live an adventure alone
Why feel judged if you are alone at a movie theater or restaurant? Learning to feel good about yourself is the first step to feeling good in company. Once you achieve this awareness, you will not need anyone and you will decide to be only with those who truly deserve your time. For this reason, we recommend that you plan an activity to do on your own: exhibition, movie, weekend away. You will be amazed at how good it feels to spend time alone, doing whatever you enjoy and what makes you feel good.
Visit museums in the city for free
On International Women’s Rights Day, admission to the state’s cultural sites is free for women. In Milan you can visit the Pinacoteca di Brera for free, to book click here.
Get to know more about all the “just” women at the Garden of the Righteous
Take some time and go discover the names of all those women who fought, even losing their lives, because they believed in greater ideals. Ideals of justice, peace and equality. It is also thanks to them that we have come this far. Women who have chosen to take responsibility, refusing to turn their heads the other way: Azucena Villaflor, the promoter of the movements for the truth about the desaparecidos in Argentina or Sonita Alizadeh, a young Afghan woman who fights every day against the drama of child brides and so many others. Women who have made freedom and justice their mission. Definitely worthy of a remembrance and a visit.
A musical journey in New Orleans
In the evening, on the other hand, why not indulge in the rhythm of the saxophone and double bass notes of The Jazz Room? The most vibrant jazz show in all of Milan where you can enjoy a cocktail and enjoy 60 minutes of pure jazz. From the greatest hits of Armstrong and Sinatra to the deepest melodies of Soul, this evening will transport you inside a New York jazz club or through the streets of colorful New Orleans through music.
