They should then take a moment to appreciate the city’s amazing street art, including Pete McKee’s Carver Street mural of Muriel with her polka dot scarf, sunglasses and shopping trolley.

You can then learn more about the city’s proud industrial past at Kelham Island Museum before enjoying pizza and cocktails at the nearby Craft & Dough restaurant.

Complete your trip by grabbing an ice cream from Cuneo’s, hopping on a tram and appreciating the architectural splendour of Sheffield Cathedral.

Sharing the video on Twitter, National Express praised the city’s independent shops and bars, and ‘quirky’ street art, asking ‘who wouldn't want to visit Sheffield?’.
