The quickest choice is to fly, with flight times around 1.5 hours, but consider additional time for airport transfers and security.

Buses are available too, taking around 7 to 8 hours, which can be budget-friendly but less convenient.

Families or groups may prefer the car or train for comfort, while solo travelers might opt for the bus or flight based on budget and time constraints.
