One of Yorkshire’s top cities has made it into a list of the best city breaks in Europe for 2023, according to lifestyle magazine Time Out.
Sheffield is a beautiful leafy city that still has the feel of its cultural past as the centre of the steel industry whilst having a vast cultural scene including incredible food & drink offering and an entertainment hub.
Beating out a lot of beautiful places Steel city Sheffield, took home the silver for city breaks to take in 2023 according to Time Out’s Dan Wray.
Describing what Sheffield has to offer visitors Wray writes: “A city once synonymous with coal-blackened buildings and industrial churn, Sheffield is now more familiar with another colour: green.
“Recently crowned ‘the greenest city’ in the UK, it boasts 4.5 million trees (more per person than any other city in Europe), 250 public parks and 52 square miles of national park. Combine the lush greenery – and proximity to the Peak District – with a vibrant city rich in culture, food and drink, and you have two kinds of holiday wrapped into one.”
