Husi is a city in Vaslui County, Romania. Husi is surrounded on all
sides by vineyard-covered hills. It is located about nine miles west of
the Prut River, which is the border between Romania and the Republic of
Moldova.
The population of Husi is almost 100% ethnic Romanians. Most of those
people are Orthodox, but there are also Roman Catholics. The population
of the town has fallen from 33,320 in 2002 to under 25,000 in 2011.
Additional information on the location of Husi can be found on the
Maps page. Recent photos taken around the city can be found on the
Photos page.
The town of Husi hosts an Official Husi web site
. If you need it in English, reselect English in the pulldown at the top right of the page. The page is a good introduction to the town as it exists today.
Links to pages on the town's history, famous inhabitants, culture, the
town museum, etc., are found on the home page under the top banner photo
collage.
Another very general site for information is the Husi site on DB City.com.
There is also a Visit Husi
tourism site. The site is in Romanian. There are videos in the
Multimedia section of the Project area. The links under Tur 360 are
interactive virtual tours of landmarks in the town.
Here are several short YouTube videos that you may find fun to watch.
They are mostly photo slideshows, but a couple do show what you might
see if you drove through town, etc.
