Major city · Indonesia
Kota Agung
Skip Kota Agung unless you have a specific reason to visit Tanggamus Regency: it's a small port town with a waterfall and a park, best as a half-day stop en route to Tabuan Island or Bandar Lampung.
Kota Agung is the capital of Tanggamus Regency, sitting between Mount Tanggamus and Semangko Bay. It has a handful of sights — a waterfall, a town park, a fish auction — but no airport and limited accommodation. Most travellers use it as a transit point to Tabuan Island or continue to Bandar Lampung.
