معنی
Historical part of a city.
زمینه فرهنگی
In many Russian cities, the 'Old Town' is synonymous with the 'Kremlin' (fortress). For example, in Suzdal or Novgorod, the historical center is the main attraction. For Russian tourists, the 'Old Towns' of Tallinn and Riga are the gold standard of this phrase. They are often called 'сказочный' (fairytale-like). Because many Soviet cities were modernized, directors often filmed 'European' scenes in the Old Towns of the Baltic states or the Caucasus (like Baku). In Russia, there is a big movement to preserve 'Старый город' areas from being replaced by modern skyscrapers, which is a frequent topic in local news.
Capitalization
When referring to a specific, famous district (like in Tallinn), both words are often capitalized: Старый Город.
Case Agreement
Don't forget to change both words! It's 'в СтарОМ городЕ', not 'в старый городе'.

In many Russian cities, if you ask for 'Старый город', people might just point you to the 'Центр'. They are often the same thing.
