The town is built along the narrow valley of the Cherna ('black') and the Byala ('white') river in the central Rhodope Mountains.

As of June 2022 the town has a population of 30,689 inhabitants.

Nestled in the heart of the Rhodope Mountains, Smolyan is a picturesque town that offers a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. The town is known for its traditional architecture, with many houses featuring the typical Rhodope style of stone and wood. Take a stroll through the winding streets of the old town and you'll feel like you've stepped back in time.

One of the must-visit attractions in Smolyan is the impressive Canyon of Waterfalls.
