Yes, in this sentence, "definitely" is similar to "really," but it carries a stronger sense of certainty or emphasis. It means "without a doubt" or "absolutely."
For example:
* "You should definitely visit old town." = "You should absolutely visit old town."
* It adds certainty, making the recommendation feel strong and confident.
While "really" can also be used for emphasis, it doesn't express the same level of certainty as "definitely."
For example:
* "You should really visit old town" = "I strongly suggest you visit old town."
* "You should definitely visit old town" = "I'm sure you must visit old town!"
So, they’re close in meaning, but "definitely" is more confident and decisive.
