The Regency is part of the Indonesian province of West Java, and is situated about 75 miles southeast of Jakarta.

Bandung Regency is divided into thirty-one districts (kecamatan), encompassing 280 administrative villages (desa and kelurahan).

Cimenyan, Cilrengkrang and Cileunyi Districts (which lie immediately to the north and east of the city) and Bojongsoang, Dayeuhkolot, Margahayu and Margaasih Districts (which lie immediately to the south of the city) are virtually extensions to the built-up area of Bandung.

Traditional transport arrangements such as the delman horse passenger carriages are found in such places as the Banjaran Sub- district.

[citation needed] To ease traffic jams in the Nagreg hill area close to Bandung, in 2011 the government completed part of the Nagreg ring road (5.4 km in length, 10 degrees in steepness, with a 400 meters semi-tunnel) at a cost of Rp.90 billion (around $US 10.6 million).

The ring road will serve vehicles from travelling from south to north and can be used during Eid ul-Fitr 2011.
