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.
With its
centre of England location, Sheffield is well served by the national
road and rail networks, and the city has excellent local transport.
