A private/individual transfer to the old town takes about 25 minutes on the road, whereas you should allow around 1.5 hours for a bus due to waiting and passenger pickup.
Private transfer — 25 minutes
A private transfer is the better option — 3 hours is sufficient to explore the old town, as long as you're not planning to linger in cafes.
