how long did hyperspace travel actually take?

All lore

Ive always had mixed understanding of how close/far things are in star wars.

Watching the original trilogy it feels as if travel takes days/weeks to arrive from say Tattooine to Yavin or Alderan.

But watching the sequel trilogy it seems like everything is 5min travel time, going from rebel base to the first order planet, being chased around space etc its all nearly instant.

Clone wars cartoon gives the impression of deep space long journeys but then the Prequels again make it feel like everything is super close/short journeys. jumping from Corasunt to Kamino, then to Geonosia.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Also yes ive butchered the spelling on some of these planets, sorry.
