Sumatra's southern gateway to Krakatau volcano
This port city sits at Sumatra's southern tip as the gateway to legendary Krakatau volcano, whose 1883 eruption remains history's most catastrophic volcanic event. Modern Bandar Lampung feels pleasantly provincial with tree-lined streets, while ferries depart daily to the volcanic islands still steaming after centuries. This is Indonesia's gateway to geological drama.
