Hiho, I had the pleasure to travel Europe last year and was also able to visit the battle field at lake Trasimene. If you are interested in Hannibal's exploits, but were never sure if there is much to see, I can tell you that there are indeed some good interpretative panels, a proper 'Hannibal parcours' and even a research centre, all rounded off with some nice views over modern day Lake Trasimene. For some more in depth information and photos of the site have a look at my blog article on visiting the battlefield. link Hannibal awaits ;).

Do you really have to wear tunics when you are there?  Thanks for posting. I wish I went there when I was visiting Northern Italy many years ago. |

Glad you like it! And yes, tunics are an absolute must! At least in summer. |

"Do you really have to wear tunics when you are there?" Unless you have Gaulish ancestry. |
