Recommendation
For the most efficient and comfortable travel experience, flying is recommended due to the short travel duration. However, if you prefer a less expensive and scenic option, consider taking the train. For an adventurous road trip, driving offers flexibility and the chance to explore off-the-beaten-path attractions along the way.
