Sheffield: a city of great contrast

Sheffield is a vibrant and welcoming city with a student community of more than 40, 000 - and it is widely recognised as one of the country's most popular student destinations.

Many people visiting Sheffield for the first time are amazed to discover that the city is far different from the way they imagined it. It's a green city built on seven hills and five river valleys, with spectacular views and close to the beautiful Peak District.

For the last two decades Sheffield has benefited from massive investment programmes. The investments have regenerated and transformed Sheffield to create a modern European city, with exhilarating entertainment, great events and a unique mix of urban and rural attractions - all within very easy reach.

Nestled in the Peak District National Park, Sheffield prides itself on the beauty and richness of its open spaces. As one of the greenest cities in Europe, Sheffield offers many woodlands, parks, formal gardens, canal walks, nature trails and stunning countryside.

Closer to the city, Sheffield is rich with culture. The £17 million Millennium Galleries host exhibitions from national galleries and museums, including the Tate Gallery and the Victoria & Albert Museum. Right next door to the Galleries is the multi award-winning Winter Garden, one of the largest temperate glasshouses to be built in the United Kingdom during the last hundred years. This, along with the Peace Gardens, form part of the city's 'Heart of the City' project - a £120 million scheme to regenerate Sheffield's city centre.

Sheffield plays host to some of the best clubs in the world, along with a growing array of stylish cafes, bars and pubs that attract thousands of pleasure seekers.
