[Star Wars] How long does it take to travel across the galaxy?

I have always thought for the 2 first trilogies and legends, that even with a fast ship, it took a long time to travel between planets. (I estimated between 1 and 2 weeks to cross the galaxy) and that time was skipped in the movies to keep them interesting.

But in TFA and Rogue one I am under the impression that hyper space travels are done in matter of minutes or hours.

Was I wrong the whole time?

Actual travel times are determined by route and the class of hyperdrive.

This makes it hard to say exactly the time needed to cross from one end of the galaxy to another.

Usually, though, it's under two weeks unless you've got a real poodoo quality hyperdrive.

I should also mention that, Doylistically, the films handwave the majority of travel time to not bore us.
