The main objective of this paper was to determine social and geographical conditions influencing tourist and recreational trips of inhabitants of the Poznań Metropolis. Authors assumed that the Poznań Metropolis is a tourist region consisting of three areas: internal, external and peripheral. The areas have been well adjusted to recreational activities and connected to green wedges of the unique wedge-ring greenery system of the city of Poznań. More detailed thesis presuppose that this three areas are also characterised by a defined structure and specific character of tourist and recreational migrations. Hypotheses were tested using direct survey method with an interview questionnaire. Empirical material qualified to the analysis included 1446 questionnaires of interviews with inhabitants undertaking tourist and recreational activity within the Poznań Metropolis. The results of the survey research indicated that one-day recreation predominates in the urban area, while 2-4-day recreation is more frequent in the suburban area. Financial conditions and diversified elements and features of tourist space proved to be important factors provoking tourist and recreational activity.
