Take the train. It's meaningfully faster than driving, and the time saved usually justifies the price.

You'll arrive about 1m sooner (46m by train vs 47m by car). Tickets start at around €15 compared to roughly €6 in fuel and tolls — so you're paying a bit more, but getting hours of your day back, a city-centre arrival, and the freedom to work or relax instead of drive.

Driving makes more sense if you're travelling as a group (where fuel costs split several ways), want to stop along the way, or need a car once you arrive.

The train was very pleasant to ride and you could even sleep. There was a very pleasant atmosphere throughout the train and it was very clean. The price is quite normal, as always. Wifi was available for everyone, which I find very good, because then, even if you have online tickets, you can show that. The toilet was very clean and was cleaned regularly. The staff was very nice and helpful.
