But Why Do Cities Have Sister Cities Anyway?
Think of sister cities as a pen pal program for grown-up metropolises. It's a way for cities to connect with each other, share ideas, and, you know, not get into squabbles over who has the better skyline (though Denver's mountain views are pretty darn hard to beat).
These partnerships are all about cultural exchange, business opportunities, and maybe even a friendly game of Sister City Olympics (though that's not an official event... yet).
So, Who Are Denver's Besties?
Denver's rolodex of international BFFs is as diverse as its food truck scene. You've got:
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
- Axum, Ethiopia: Home to ancient obelisks and a rich history, Axum is basically Denver's cool, history-buff friend.
- Brest, France: This French maritime city is Denver's partner in celebrating all things seafaring... even though Denver's a good thousand miles from the nearest ocean.
- Chennai, India: Spicy curries meet craft beer in this culinary mashup of a friendship.
- Cuernavaca, Mexico: Denver and Cuernavaca are like sunshine and tacos – a match made in bronzed-skin heaven.
