意思
The historic center of a city.
文化背景
The 'Centrul Vechi' of Bucharest is famous for its nightlife. It was the only part of the city center that escaped Nicolae Ceaușescu's 'systematization' (demolition) in the 1980s. In cities like Sibiu and Brașov, the 'oraș vechi' was built by German settlers. You will see 'the eyes of the city' (windows in the roofs) which are a unique architectural feature. Sighișoara is unique because its 'oraș vechi' is a still-inhabited medieval citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Romanians love to 'ieși în oraș' (go out in the city), and the 'oraș vechi' is the primary destination for this, regardless of age.
The Article Rule
When giving directions, use 'orașul vechi' (the old town). When just describing a type of place, use 'un oraș vechi' (an old town).
Watch your feet!
If you are going to an 'oraș vechi', don't wear high heels. The 'piatră cubică' (cobblestones) is very uneven.
