A brief overview on the observed properties of protoplanetary disks will be provided with an emphasis on the disk sub-structures. We have seen a significant progress in understanding disks but there are still a lot of questions to be answered to understand, for example, planetesimal formation in disks. The purpose of this overview is therefore to provide a starting point for discussions about the future direction of observations with current and next generation instruments, which eventually enabling us to link disk properties to the exoplanets architecture.
