Twinned with Reykjavík
5 of 13 in this atlas
Reykjavík maintains formal municipal ties with a handful of northern European capitals. Its links with Copenhagen, Helsinki, Oslo, and Vilnius are mutual, each side naming the other in return. The pairing with Stockholm stands apart, listed by Reykjavík but not reciprocated, giving an overall pattern in which mutual recognition is the norm rather than the exception.
