Recommendation
If you prefer a quick and less tiring option, I recommend flying as the most efficient mode of travel despite the need for transfers. However, for a cost-effective option with flexibility, driving would be the best choice. If you’re looking for an economical way to travel while meeting new people, consider taking the bus.
