The journey duration varies: driving takes about 1.5 hours, while bus services can take up to 2.5 hours. Plan your travel during daylight for the best experience and to enjoy the views.
Luggage Considerations**:
If traveling by bus, check the luggage policy, as different companies have varying restrictions. For car rentals, ensure you have enough space for your belongings.
Border Crossing Tips**:
