Řež is the site of a nuclear research centre[1] and a chemical factory.[2] In August 2002 there was a serious flood which damaged the site.

Řež has a good railway connection by Prague - Kralupy nad Vltavou line. The stop is located on the opposite (left) bank of the Vltava River and is accessible by a pedestrian bridge. An 18 km ride from Masaryk Station takes up 24 minutes.
