This depends on how you want to get there. The quickest, cheapest way probably involves the Hohmann Ellipse Transfer, where you begin the journey at earth's aphelion and end at Jupiter's perihelion. A cheaper but longer route might entail use of the Interplanetary Transfer Network. Gravity assists of the inner planets can help boost a spacecraft to a higher orbit.

If you had unlimited fuel, you could simply boost straight to Jupiter, without ever trying to slow down. Just keep boosting, boosting, boosting, until you're swallowed by the Jovian atmosphere.

The Galileo spacecraft, using gravity assists, required six years to get from Earth to Jupiter.
