Over a decade has passed since the discovery of the Higgs boson. The LHC experiments are scrutinizing the large datasets collected at 7, 8, 13, and 13.6 TeV to measure its properties and behaviour, precisely mapping the Higgs sector and its interactions. The boson is no longer just the most sought-after particle in the field: today it is our best tool to understand the Standard Model and, hopefully, our guide towards new physics beyond.

In this talk, we will walk through the current landscape of Higgs physics at the LHC, focusing on the latest results from the ATLAS and CMS experiments. New terrain is being charted: from exploring rare decays and measuring differential distributions in complex phase spaces to using effective field theories to test the limits of our knowledge. We will also review where we stand in the search for Higgs pair production and the exploration of the Higgs potential: a window into the stability of our universe and the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking.
