Cosmopolitan

Amsterdam is the most multicultural city in the world, it was announced yesterday. With 177 nationalities represented amongst its inhabitants, it leads the Flemish city of Antwerp, which is home to a mere 164. New York is in third place, with 150.

The population of the Dutch capital city is a mere 743,104, which perhaps makes its position at the top of the list all the more surprising. New York, by way of contrast, has 21,976,224 inhabitants. On the other hand, Antwerp has only [466,203](http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antwerpen_(stad)), making it even more impressive.

Of course, being multicultural says nothing about how well each of those cultures is integrated with the others. That’s an entirely different matter.
