Bissau is the seat both of its namesake, uniquely autonomous sector,
and of the namesake ersatz (single-sector) region. I could not find
any data about its current flag use.

Bissau city had until (at least) 1975, year of the independence
of Guinea-Bissau, a municipal flag similar to those of
Portuguese municipalities, with the golden
mural crown given to overseas province capitals. The flag was gyronny of
black and red and the coat of arms was argent a tower gules flanked by two
Native’s heads respectant proper dressed and “lipped”
gules. White scroll with «CIDADE DE BISSAU» in
black capitals.

This coat of arms, from [lgh66], at
HotW
website, and in the
Wikimedia
Commons. In the latter location, where the gyronny background of the
flag was clumsily “cleaned up”, uploader Emerson states that
this flag «may be still in use». Based on what I know of
Portuguese former colonies’ municipal flags, I’d say that is
highly unlikely.
