Twinned with Nicosia
9 of 9 in this atlas
Nicosia's twinning ties link it to cities across several continents, from Athens and Istanbul nearby to Abu Dhabi, Fuzhou, and Mexico City further afield. Most pairings are confirmed by both sides, with Amsterdam, Ankara, Vilnius, and others reciprocating the declaration. Lisbon names Nicosia as a partner, though the connection is not returned in kind, leaving the overall picture a mix of mutual and one-sided recognitions.
