Before I came to the UK, I was told that Sheffield was not the prettiest of cities. Happily, once I got here, I found that I absolutely disagreed. Not only do I think that Sheffield is actually a beautiful city, I also think that it is one of the most Instagrammable places I have ever visited. With this guide, I hope to give you some ideas for interesting and good looking posts while also telling you what my favourite parts of Sheffield are (and showing off my own pictures).
Tip #1: Kelham Island
One of my favourite areas in Sheffield is Kelham Island. Not only is it absolutely gorgeous, it is also very different from the rest of the city. It looks industrial, but hip, and has some of Sheffield’s best bars and restaurants. A great place to take some cool shots is the Kelham Island Museum (pictured with the flags), but any spot around Kelham Island will essentially do the trick.
Tip #2: Paradise Square
Located just behind the cathedral 
in the centre of town, Paradise Square is a charming little place that will make your Instagram-followers very happy/jealous. The best pictures are taken in the late afternoon or around sunset. Try to take your pictures during working hours; that way, the parking lot in the middle of the square will be relatively empty, which will make taking nice pictures a little bit easier.
Tip #3: Clay Wood
If you’re a fan of city views, this is the place for you. Clay Wood is just behind the train station and you do have to walk up a hill for the view, but it is 100% worth it. From the hill, you will be able to see and capture Sheffield in its full glory. After you take your pictures, you could go for a walk in the nearby park or visit the Cholera Monument to learn more about Sheffield in darker times.
Tip #4: Use the weather!
It is no secret that weather in the UK can be 
a little unpredictable, but I find that since the weather in Sheffield changes so much, there are many opportunities to catch beautiful images using the weather. For instance, there can be a lot of rain, but the weather has the tendency to change quickly, increasing the chances of seeing rainbows! Additionally, the clouds can give your pictures some beautiful effects, especially around sunrise or sunset.
There are also plenty of other gorgeous places to explore around Sheffield, such as the Botanical Gardens, the Winter Gardens, and of course, the Peak District. I hope this guide has been helpful to you, or at least shown you that Sheffield is a beautiful city, worth exploring. Happy Instagramming!

In the first semester, we studied with Marketing Management Practice (MMP) & Global Marketing Management (GMM) students. Each course offers a two hour lecture and a one hour seminar per week. The lectures about marketing are interesting because teachers use real-life stories to explain theories and the theories about marketing usually relate to psychology. To me, learning these things seems like learning about people, including myself. In the seminar, student’s group together to discuss case studies with the knowledge we learned from the lecture, academic papers, and textbooks. Also, we practice presentations in seminars, which is very important for growing our skills for the workplace.
and safe city. The living costs are also relatively lower than other cities in the UK, and much cheaper than London. It is easy for students to buy daily essentials in the supermarkets around the corner from the Management School, such as Tesco and Sainsbury. Or we can easily take the tram or walk to Sheffield City Centre. It is very convenient.
