Sheffield is a welcoming and friendly city with exciting, diverse attractions, unique industrial heritage, stunning landscape and a vibrant city centre.

For those who appreciate the more cultural aspects of a city it has outstanding museums and galleries.

As the greenest city in England you're never far from one of more than 200 parks, woodlands or gardens. Sheffield is also the only city within the UK to have a national park within its boundary so escaping the bustling city to explore the natural beauty of the Peak District is just so convenient.

Across the city you can enjoy fantastic food from around the world or relax in a wide array of cafes and bistros. If it's a night on the tiles you're after or simply a relaxing drink, Sheffield has everything from real ale to really trendy. Sheffield is spoilt for choice when it comes to shopping with Meadowhall and its 270 stores only a short Supertram ride from the broad pedestrianised streets of the city centre.

As the first National City of Sport, it's hardly surprising that Sheffield has some of the best sports facilities in Europe including Olympic standard swimming & diving facilities, Europe's largest all season ski resort, some of the UK's best indoor climbing facilities and Ice Sheffield.
