There are two different pilgrimages:
1) Hajj - this is the greater one, which is performed in a specific time (the 9th, 10th, 11th of the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah). The acts of worship are numerous and there are a few specific places (Mina, Muzdalifah, Arafah) to carry out these acts of worship
2) Umrah - this can be performed at any time in the year. The acts of worship are simple and limited to one area (within the Sacred Mosque in Makkah/Mecca). It is usually over in a few hours' time.
The first type of pilgrimage (Hajj) is obligatory upon every Muslim at least once in his lifetime as long as he has the means to perform it (e.g. he is able to afford it, he is physically able etc.)
Scholars differ as to the obligation of the second type (Umrah).
