Couldn't vote Melbourne so I voted Amsterdam.
Well, yeah, but not to such an extent that it is lent any sort of primacy. It's a regional music centre, sure, but so is any large city, that's just how popular culture works. It doesn't even house any particularly prominent scenes right now, at least not compared to, say, grunge-era Seattle, or itself in the glam era.Clearly it is LA. It has Hollywood and Rock & Roll and a Broadcast Tower and all it produces with its hammers is culture.
But this influence represents only a tiny, tiny fraction of international culture as a whole.New York. I don't see any other city having the influence on global culture currently that NY has.

When Paris stops being the most visited city in the world, I'll consider somewhere else. Until then...
Yeah, I probably took that a bit too seriously, didn't I? My apologies.Shhhhh. I was struggling to make my joke work. ):
If we talk about world's cultural capital, then it's more significant to count international visitors.New York #1
Paris receives the most international visitors, but overall, NYC is by far #1.
47 million tourists in 2008 versus 35 million for Paris
