if u r traveling at the speed of light, it'll take 1 year
( 1 light year is the distance traveled by light in 1 year)
so the time taken depends on the speed at which u r traveling

It depends on your speed, and if you could get to any significant fraction of the speed of light, it would depend on whose frame of reference for the time, as the person traveling will experience a different elapsed time.
If you mean at speeds our current space vehicles travel, see the other answers...

Depends on your speed
A light-year is equal to:
9,460,730,472,580.8 km
If my maths is correct traveling at 100KM per hour, 8 Hours a day, 5 days a week every week of the year would take
45,484,281.118176923076923076923077 Years
