Every country has one capital, and both the country name and the city name normally take the definite article in this structure.
A capital is often the largest city of a country, but this is not always true, so you must never guess in a test.
The verb locate is passive, and a place is located in a city or a country; it never locates somewhere.
The preposition after the phrase be famous for is always for, and this is one of the most frequently tested points in texts about places.
In a city description use in for a city or a country, on for a surface or an island, and at for a point such as an entrance or a position.
Expressions of height and position are fixed phrases: at the top of, at the foot of, in the middle of, next to and opposite.
An attraction and the country it belongs to are two different facts, and a careful student never puts a remote monument in the middle of a capital.
A guide explains the history of a building, a ticket gives the right to enter, and sightseeing is the activity of visiting famous places.

Writing famous of or famous with: The phrase is always be famous for, and no other preposition is correct after this very common adjective pair.
Using in with a fixed position phrase: Say at the top of the hill and not in the top of it, because these expressions must be learned as whole units.
Using the active form of locate: A place is located in a city; write the passive with the form of be, because the place is the object of the action.
Asking how much for a length of time: How much is only for a price or an amount, and the correct question for a journey is how long it takes.
Adding the definite article in the wrong place: Say the capital of Italy and the capital city of Italy, but do not write the capital of the Italy.
Confusing a city with its country: Do not say that a remote monument is in the middle of a capital; say that the country is famous for that monument instead.

Learn capitals in threes: country, capital, famous place. The three parts come together in almost every test question.
When you read a travel text, look for the time and the price words first, because they answer the two most common questions.
Say the phrase be famous for out loud with three different nouns, and the preposition will never be wrong again.
Check the verb after a place name: a place is located somewhere, and it does not locate somewhere.
Use the fixed phrases as whole units in your notebook, because a preposition inside a phrase cannot be changed.
In a recommendation, always give one reason, for example it is worth visiting because the view is wonderful.
