Twinned with Brasília
22 of 26 in this atlas
Brasília's twinning ties span every inhabited continent, linking it with capitals such as Abuja, Canberra, Doha, Tehran, and Vienna, among many others. Nearly all pairings are mutual, with Berlin standing out as the sole one-sided case, naming Brasília as a partner without reciprocal listing. The overall pattern shows a broad, consistently reciprocated network rather than one concentrated in any single region.

1 of these do not list Brasília back. Twinning is declared independently by each municipality, so one-sided pairs are common — and usually more interesting than the mutual ones.
