The 2025 Tempe Sister Cities Delegation adventure began in Finland’s beautiful capital, Helsinki. It was the first visit to the city for everyone, and many quickly fell in love with it. Despite the rain, Helsinki’s charm shone through—its friendly people, clean streets, and walkable layout made a lasting impression. Next, the delegation traveled by train to Trollhättan, Tempe’s Sister City in Sweden, to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their partnership. From there, some delegates flew to Regensburg, Germany—Tempe’s second Sister City, established in 1976—where they were joined by more TSC members.

Tempe Sister Cities 2025 Visits to our Sister Cities – Beaulieu sur Mer
Tempe and Beaulieu-sur-Mer officially became Sister Cities in 1997, during Tempe’s 125th anniversary celebration. Our April trip to Beaulieu-sur-Mer provided us with a taste of the region’s magic. Even though our visit was brief, we managed to see nearby towns like Nice, Villefranche, Èze, Monaco, Menton, Vence, and the charming medieval village of St-Paul-de-Vence. These moments only touched on the area’s rich cultural and historical layers. Nestled between Nice and Monaco, Beaulieu-sur-Mer greeted us with heartfelt hospitality by residents and local officials, who made us feel truly at home. Their kindness and pride in their community left a lasting impression.
