Abstract
The ALICE experiment has been running successfully since 2010 and made an impressive progress towards understanding of hot and dense QCD matter produced in heavy ion collisions at LHC energies. Recent results on identified particle spectra, azimuthal anisotropy, heavy flavour and quarkonium production in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 2.76 TeV are presented. First results on p-Pb collisions and ALICE upgrade plans are briefly reviewed.
