Twinned with Havana
20 of 33 in this atlas
Havana's twinning links span municipalities across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, from Athens and Barcelona to Beijing, Tehran, and Windhoek. Nearly all pairings are mutual, with the two Turkish links differing: İzmir confirms the relationship while Istanbul names Havana as a partner without reciprocation recorded on Havana's side. The overall pattern is one of broad, largely reciprocated municipal ties.

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