Genoa city
Genoa is a city in the north of Italy; it is the main town of the region called Liguria.
Genoa is enclosed between the sea in the south side and the hills in the north side, therefore there aren't very large spaces: the city is crossed by narrow streets and the traffic is quite chaotic. Anyway it has also a fascinating place to visit.
In the 10th century Genoa was one of the four famous maritime Republics and nowadays walking around the historic city center it's common to come across medieval buildings and ancient churches.
Doing the sightseeing tour of the city you can visit the magnificent cathedral, interesting museums and the aquarium, which is one of the biggest all over the Europe. Besides don't forget to try the restaurants that offer good local specialities like "trofie al pesto", "cappon magro" or "stoccafisso alla genovese".

I guess I'll have to play the nitpicker after all the good comments. I would probably have gone this route.
Anyway, (not necessary, but if you use it, use a comma)it is also a fascinating place to visit.

Thanks a lot, Alan. Effectively the using of articles in English is still confusing for me.

Great job, Stefano. I can't add much to the great work by Robert. One thing to think about is the article with *sightseeing tour*. With *the* you make a definite reference. With *a* you make an indefinite reference. I would use *a* here, but the meaning is not changed all that much--in this case. I'll talk to you later.
