dc.description.abstractThis chapter reviews the three-dimensional structure, age, kinematics, and chemistry of the Milky Way (MW) region within ~2 kpc from its center (hereafter referred to as the 'bulge') from an observational perspective. While not exhaustive in citations, this review provides historical context and discusses the main controversies and limitations in the current consensus. The nuclear bulge region, within ∼200 pc from the Galactic center, has been excluded from this review. This very complex region, hosting dense molecular clouds and active star formation, would deserve a dedicated paper.
