De stad ligt in het zuidwesten van het land, in de beschutting van het Mecsekgebergte, even ver van de Donau als van de Drau (Drava). Het is de hoofdstad van het comitaat Baranya. Sinds 1954 is Pécs een "stad met comitaatsrecht" (megyei jogú város). Als zuidelijkste grote stad van Hongarije wordt de stad gekenmerkt door een mediterraan aandoende sfeer.
