The fastest and, of course, the most comfortable is, of course, air transport. The city has its own international airport, but it is not very used. After all, it is not within easy reach of seaside destinations like other busier air ports in the country.
Thanks to the good motorway connection, it is also possible to travel by car or long-distance bus. For example, the well-known company Flixbus will bring you here from many European cities. With early booking, tickets can be purchased at very reasonable prices.
