Tourist Information  :   Sheffield is a wonderful place to visit not least due to its beautiful setting. It is a welcoming and friendly city full of life with a unique blend of contemporary and traditional experiences. Visitors and locals delight in art, history, an extremely lively entertainment scene, outstanding attractions and stunning countryside.

The continual drive to regenerate parts of the city and recent investment has certainly paid off. Within the heart of the city centre the completion of the Peace Gardens, Millennium Galleries and Winter Garden has created architectural splendour, which should be at the top of any visitor itinerary.
