Sheffield overview

A famous line from a movie suggests to visitors that ‘you can keep your hat on’ here and this is a good bit of advice if you want to stay warm in this northern English city. Sheffield is famous for its steelworks and industrial heritage as well as being home to two well-known football teams. The giant Meadowhall Centre, perfect for shopaholics, was first built in 1990 and continues to attract many bargain hunters from the surrounding areas. Visitors can enjoy the delights of four major arts centres and a number of museums across the city. A novel way to travel around Sheffield is by tram and locals in this part of England are well known for their friendly and welcoming attitudes.
