<\/p>\n

The world we live in today is an explosion of multiple cultures all bundled\u00a0together.<\/p>\n

From the diverse cuisines we enjoy, friends we have, and the foreign languages we\u2019re surrounded by, most of us enjoy the vibrancy of different cultures around us. If this diverse list isn’t convincing enough to inspire you to learn French<\/a>, Spanish, German, or another language, we’re not sure what would be!<\/p>\n

However, if you are looking for the ultimate multicultural experience, we\u2019ve curated the most multicultural cities in the world that you can visit. There\u2019s a good chance that the city you\u2019re living in today is also on this list, so make sure you share it with your local friends!<\/p>\n

The Top 10 Most Multicultural Cities In The World<\/h1>\n

10. Dubai<\/h1>\n

This is a city that was built from the ground up by workers from different countries around the world. In just a few decades, Dubai went from a small town on the Persian Gulf coast to a globally recognized city. With a diversity rate of over 83{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c}, Dubai ranks as one of the most multicultural cities in the world. In case you didn’t yet know, the people here speak Arabic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

9. Los Angeles<\/h1>\n

Los Angeles, also known as The Angels in Spanish, was historically a part of Mexico, which is why it’s worth it to learn Spanish<\/a> with a Spanish tutor<\/a> if you live here. Today, it\u2019s the second largest city in the United States,\u00a0with people from approximately 140 countries speaking 86 different languages calling it home. A lot of this springs from the flexible immigration laws, inspiring\u00a0people from around the world to create the American dream here. The area of Los Angeles\u00a0has created multiple\u00a0cultural neighborhoods, such as Koreatown, Little Tokyo, and Boyle Heights.<\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

8. London<\/h1>\n

London is the most multicultural city in Europe, and the largest city in the United Kingdom. While the official language is English, more than one-third of the population in London are born in a foreign country. Of course, learning English<\/a> if you don’t already speak it would be a requirement. On the streets of this diverse city, over 200 languages are spoken on a day to day basis, and it only continues to grow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

7. Amsterdam<\/h1>\n

Recognized as the city of freedom and tolerance, there are people with over 178 different cultural backgrounds living in this city. In order to help non-Dutch speakers that live here, the city sponsors many free language classes<\/a> to help them, and even hosts multicultural events throughout the year to promote their worldly view.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6. New York<\/h1>\n

It goes without saying that New York is often recognized as a city of misfits that have banded together from around the world. The city established what\u2019s called the Mayor\u2019s Office of Immigrant Affairs, which has created several executive orders and laws to help those who are coming from abroad \u2014 about 36{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} of its population.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. Paris<\/h1>\n

Paris is ranked second to London as the most multicultural city in Europe. What makes Paris stand out is that it\u2019s the only international city in the world, where English is not the main form of communication between people from different nationalities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Singapore<\/h1>\n

After gaining independence in 1965, this tiny island nation has transformed into a multicultural and economic powerhouse in Asia.\u00a0Singapore\u00a0boasts four official languages: English, Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil, and approximately 40{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} of its population comes from foreign countries abroad.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Sydney<\/h1>\n

While Sydney is far from the rest of the world, it is a close neighbor to many of the Asian countries, including China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Korea. This is why over 40{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c} of its population are from overseas, such as the Philippines, UK, Italy, China, and more.<\/p>\n

As the largest city in Australia, Sydney is often recognized as the \u201cAustralian New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Hong Kong<\/h1>\n

Like Singapore, Hong Kong is another tiny nation that has risen to become an economic powerhouse in Asia. Rumors state that much of their multiculturalism comes from hiring cheap labor in China or India.
\nWhile discrimination will continue to exist, it\u2019s hard to deny the diversity of cultures that clash within this energetic city.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Toronto<\/h1>\n

Toronto is the largest city in Canada, and it\u2019s often recognized as the \u2018most multicultural city in the world.\u2019 Here, you’ll find people who speak English<\/a>, French, Spanish, German, and many more foreign languages while walking the streets.<\/p>\n

People from the UK, Ireland, China and Italy, to name a few, represent some of the larger cultural groups in this city, while smaller communities include people from Iran, the Netherlands, Nepal, Romania and many other countries. This exciting place also features dozens of ethnic neighborhoods waiting to be explored, including Chinatown, Greektown, Roncesvalles Village (Little Poland), Little Italy, and Little India.<\/p>\n
