During the past few decades, a large number of extrasolar planets have been detected. Beside those with expected physical properties, planets have also been found with surprising characteristics such as the so-called "Hot Jupiters" or misaligned Hot Jupiters.

In my talk, I will describe the current understanding of the formation and evolution of planets with special attention to their interaction with the gaseous discs in which they have been formed. I will discuss
the theory of planet migration as well as possible scenarios for the formation of planets on inclined orbits.
