Set off on a grand road trip from Sarajevo in Bosnia to Bucharest in Romania. The route covers a distance of 922 km, and you should allow around 12.7 hours for the drive. As you make your way through the Balkans, you'll pass through several border crossings before arriving at your final destination.
