Introducing Bandarlampung
Perched on the hills overlooking Teluk Lampung, Bandarlampung is the region’s largest city and its administrative capital. The fourth-largest city in Sumatra, it is the product of an amalgamation of the old towns of Telukbetung (coastal) and Tanjungkarang (inland).

Bandarlampung is the transport hub for stepping into Sumatra from Java and used to see a lot of coming-and-going foreigners. But plane travel now whisks backpackers away from more-northern latitudes. Today visitors come on package tours to Way Kambas or Krakatau arranged in Jakarta.
