Recommendation
If you prefer a budget-friendly and straightforward option, taking the Greyhound bus would be a great choice at around €35 - €60 and approximately 4 hours of travel time. However, for more flexibility and ease, driving your own car would be the fastest option, taking only about 3 hours and costing approximately €25 in fuel. For those who are short on time and don't mind connecting flights, consider the air option, but be aware of the higher cost and longer total duration.
