Recommendation
For a balance of cost and convenience, taking a flight is the most efficient option as it significantly reduces travel time. However, if you prefer a scenic route and wish to experience more along the way, consider the train. Driving could be the most flexible option, allowing for spontaneous stops and exploration.
