Set off on a grand road trip from Vilnius in Lithuania to Bucharest in Romania, travelling through a few countries along the way. The whole journey is a fair whack at 1777 kilometres, and you'll be behind the wheel for roughly 23.1 hours. As you drive through the varied landscapes of Eastern Europe, remember to stick to the right-hand side of the road. Before you hit the Romanian national roads and motorways, make sure you've bought a Rovinieta – it's an electronic toll sticker, and you don't want to be caught out with a fine. This long drive gives you a brilliant chance to see the different buildings and scenery as you travel between these two historic cities.
