Where to stay in Katonatelep
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
A traveller who ends up with a Katonatelep address will still sleep in Kecskemét, because the city keeps the whole municipality's supply of rooms and this quarter on the north-eastern side carries none of it. Kadafalva is no different. The run into the centre is short and much the same from either outer quarter, so the real choice on a booking page falls between one Kecskemét street and another.

About Katonatelep
What are the main landmarks in Katonatelep?
No monument, no museum, and no listed church. Katonatelep carries none of these in the reference record, which gives the quarter a name and a position on the north-eastern side of Kecskemét and then stops. The Kecskemét Gallery stands in the city.
Szent Erzsébet-templom and the Kecskeméti Vadaskert are equally the city's rather than this quarter's, and Kadafalva over on the western side is documented no better than Katonatelep is.
What is the history of Katonatelep?
The Kecskemét municipality took in its outlying quarters over time, and Katonatelep is one of them, arriving in the record with a name and an administrative attachment but without a charter year or a dated first mention. Nothing older survives here. Kadafalva sits on the other side of the same city with the same gap in its paperwork, both of them filed under Bács-Kiskun county in Hungary.
Where is Katonatelep?
North-east of the Kecskemét centre, Katonatelep marks the far side of the city from Kadafalva, inside Bács-Kiskun county.
