Knowledge of the distribution of dark-matter in our Galaxy plays a crucial role in the interpretation of dark-matter detection experiments. I will argue here that probably the best way of constraining the properties of the dark-matter halo is through astrophysical observations. These provide constraints on the spatial structure (density profile, shape, local density), on the velocity distribution function and on the presence of substructure (streams or lumps of dark-matter).
