Choosing to drive a car is for those who want more freedom. It gives you the chance to make sightseeing detours at your leisure, but there are some drawbacks. The travel time by car only takes two to three hours, but unfortunately, you might not be able to enjoy the ride since you’ll be paying close attention to your GPS.
