In fact, we think that some of our favorite destinations have almost human traits. Maybe you\u2019ll say that we\u2019ve been inhaling too much jet exhaust, but we decided to bring you an entire blog series on the topic. We\u2019re going to dish about food, transportation, activities, and more in some of the world\u2019s finest sister cities.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is a Sister City<\/strong><strong>, You Ask?<\/strong><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Well, kids, when two cities really love each other, they\u2026form a mutually beneficial agreement to promote each other\u2019s cultural traditions and commerce.

To showcase some of their best qualities and have some fun while we\u2019re at it, we are comparing our favorite list of sister cities to some of the most beloved celebrity sisters we know.

What about a feeling of irreverence in its sister city San Francisco? We detect more than a bit of grandiosity and sass in these international sister cities, so we decided they are the perfect personification of Beyonc\u00e9 and Solange. On the other hand, when we examined a trip from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flights.com\/flights\/boston-bos-to-barcelona-bcn\/\" target=\"_blank\">Boston to Barcelona<\/a> (or vice versa), it reminded us of Alex and Haley Dunphy from \u201cModern Family.\u201d One sister is studious, up on her history trivia, and would enjoy a trip to Boston. Meanwhile, the other sister would love to experience a Barcelona night club.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"position:relative; display:block;\"><span style=\"position: absolute;top: 8px;right: 10px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flights.com%2Fblog%2Fwhat-are-sister-cities-anyway%2F&media=http:\/\/flights.waveinteractive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Original-Venice-Beach.-Sunset.-Summer-concept.jpg&description=What+are+Sister+Cities%2C+Anyway%3F\"><\/a><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/flights.waveinteractive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Original-Venice-Beach.-Sunset.-Summer-concept.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1520\" src=\"http:\/\/flights.waveinteractive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Original-Venice-Beach.-Sunset.-Summer-concept.jpg\" alt=\"Original- Venice Beach.

In the end, we decided Venus and Serena are the perfect (game, set) match for the powerful culture and community in these destinations. Of course, London and New York fit the sister city definition to a tee: They complement each other as nicely as a certain set of British, upper crust sisters.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to get inspired for your next big travel adventure and you love an uplifting tale of sisterhood and partnership, you\u2019re in for a fun ride.
