Difference between @import and link in CSS

Question

I'm learning some CSS to tweak my project template. I come to this problem and didn't find a clear answer on the web. Is there a difference between using @import or link in CSS?

Use of @import

<style>@import url(Path To stylesheet.css)</style>

Use of Link

<link rel="stylesheet" href="Path To stylesheet.css">

What's the best way to do it? and why? Thanks!
