Twinning
Twin cities
Liverpool is twinned with:-
- Cologne - 1952
- Odessa - 1956
- Dublin - 1997
- Shanghai - 1999
The links with Odessa are mainly based on community activitiy and, as such, are not as strong as the programme of activities Liverpool has established with Cologne, Dublin and Shanghai.
