We are planning to take tram #6 to Jelacic Square, but can anyone help with directions from Jelacic Square to the Westin? (I found pictures of Jelacic Square online and didn't see the Westin in any of them, but I read elsewhere that the Westin is supposed to be very close to Jelacic Square.)
Any help would be appreciated -- let's just say we haven't exactly had much time to plan this trip, so I'm reaching the panic stage!
The #6 tram does indeed go from the train station to the cental square, but you need the #2, the #4 or the #9 two stops to the Westin (the stop is Vodnikova). Same side of the tracks/direction as for the #6 (i.e. going towards the Regent). You could also take the #13 first up to Jelacic Square and then back down to Vodnikova but that's longer. Try
this link for a map of the tram routes. It's a little bit cheaper to buy your tickets at a kiosk before you board but the driver also sells tickets. If you take the #13 the stop is directly in front of the hotel. If you take the 2, 4 or 9, walk 10 yards/meters to the corner (same direction as you were going in the tram), cross the street and the hotel will be right there to your right.
