At only 437 meters above sea level, Palazzuolo is surrounded by a crown of beautiful mountains, the tallest of which, Monte Carzolano, rising to 1187 meters. Once a remote and rural area, these mountains saw the gradual disappearance of the farm based economy of the post war economic boom. As a result, Nature re-claimed the once cultivated slopes creating a breath-taking, pure and uncontaminated environment of mountains, woods and creeks, full of natural trails for trekking, horseback or mountain bike explorations.
The City organizes various guided excursions, out in nature and to sites of scenic or historical interest, with stops in Agriturismo for a taste of local foods.
Worth visiting, in the ancient, coat of arms-covered Palazzo dei Capitani, are the Museo delle Genti di Montagna and the Museo Archeologico Alto Mugello.
The village has many restaurants and bars as well as public swimming pool, tennis courts, mini-golf, bocce ball, soccer and volleyball fields, and other amenities. Depending on the season, Palazzuolo also offers a variety of events, including medieval feasts, seasonal product fairs, shows and street performances, flea markets, etc.
