Population: approximately 560,000 inhabitants (city itself), the district has over 585,000 inhabitants. Known for: former world center of the steel industry (nicknamed "Steel City"), knives and cutlery, seven hills (like Rome), and abundant greenery (more trees per inhabitant than any other European city). 
Sport: home to Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United (the two oldest professional football clubs in the world with a derby). 
Universities: University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University (combined over 60,000 students). Culture & Events: Doc/Fest (documentary festival), Tramlines Festival, Leadmill (music venue), Crucible Theatre (Snooker World Championship). 
Bordering: Peak District National Park (within 10-15 minutes of the city center, you're in nature). 

In short: a former heavy industrial city that has successfully transformed into a green, cultural, and student-friendly city with a strong character of its own.
