You'll arrive about 24m sooner (1h 9m by train vs 1h 33m by car). Tickets start at around kr281 compared to roughly kr102 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.

Direct services run with Deutsche Bahn Regio (DB Regional).

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.
