This article presents an analysis of structures, intensity and the directions of migration in the following metropolitan areas: Warszawa, Kraków, Katowice, Lublin and Bydgoszcz-Toruń, in the years 2000-2005. A typology of migration in poviat districts constituting respective areas has been carried out.
