A number of shops and businesses line the square; Plinganserstraße, an important traffic artery running from north to south, skirts Harras in the east.

The Westpark is a large recreational park located in the west of the borough. It was laid out for the International Gardening Exhibition that took place in Munich in 1983. Munich's main traffic artery, the Mittlerer Ring cuts right through the park and divides it into an eastern and a western park.[1]
