Bandar Lampung is the capital and largest city of the Indonesian province of Lampung. Located on the southern tip of Sumatra, Bandar Lampung was originally called Tanjungkarang–Telukbetung, since it was a unification of two major settlements in Lampung, before being renamed in 1983. The city proper, together with South Lampung Regency and Pesawaran Regency, are major transmigration recipients. The city's area is about 183.77 km2.
