The D5 motorway from Plzeň to the Czech-German border in Rozvadov passes through the northern part of the municipal territory.

A short railway line of local importance from Nýřany terminates here.

The most important monument is the Church of Saint Martin in Horní Sekyřany. It was built in the Gothic style after 1375. Baroque modifications were made in 1678. The tower was added in 1704.

A valuable technical monument is the former tower water tank, built probably in 1908. Today it serves as an observation tower.
