Hrusice is known as birthplace of Josef Lada and was popularized through his paintings and illustrations on Christmas and Easter postcards and children's books.

There are two fishponds in the municipal territory; Hrusický in the centre of the village and Hubačovský in the northwest.

There also operates a suburban bus line between Strančice and Stříbrná Skalice (via Mnichovice and Ondřejov) with a stop in the centre of Hrusice.

It is an example of rural Romanesque architecture from the turn of the 12th century with a valuable sandstone portal, a work by monks from the Sázava Monastery.

[2] Josef Lada Memorial in artist's villa, nowadays a branch of Prague-East Regional Museum, presents his life and work as well as his daughter Alena Ladová, also a renowned illustrator.
