Heavy-ion collisions are a unique tool to create in the laboratory the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a state of strongly-interacting matter where quarks and gluons are deconfined. Significant progress was made over the last years in the understanding of the QGP properties and in the characterization of the phase diagram of QCD matter. In these proceedings, a review of recent experimental highlights on heavy-ion physics from different experiments is presented.
