Pelleparken Playground
Peter-No-Tail’s Very Own Playground
In Carolinaparken, nestled between the educational hubs Engelska Parken and Carolina Rediviva, you’ll find a gateway to Peter-No-Tail’s magical world. Some even call Pelleparken Sweden’s finest playground.
Here, beloved characters from the books come to life — Peter-No-Tail, Molly Cream-Nose, Mean Mike, and Bill & Bull. You’ll also spot iconic locations like Old-Maja’s cathedral tower, Batong’s office, and Råttström’s bakery. One thing’s for sure: your kids won’t want to leave!
During summer, you can also enjoy a treat at Peter-No-Tail’s Café.

When meet & greet events are scheduled, you’ll find the dates listed in our event calendar.
The Cats' Crosswalk and the Cat Window
Peek Inside Peter & Molly’s Home
In Uppsala, city planning isn’t just for people and cars. Just a stone’s throw from Peter-No-Tail’s playground, at the intersection of Övre Slottsgatan and Drottninggatan, you’ll find Sweden’s only pedestrian crossing for cats.
A block away, on Åsgränd, there’s another tribute to Peter-No-Tail, but you’ll need a sharp eye to spot it. In a small basement window tucked into the wall, curious kids can peek into the cozy home of Peter and Molly Cream-Nose.
Peter & Molly in Påvel Snickares Gränd
Uppsala’s Biggest Cats
Peter-No-Tail has moved into Påvel Snickares Gränd. Here, artist Charlie Granberg has painted a striking 15-meter-tall mural of Peter-No-Tail and Molly Cream-Nose in a modern style.
A fantastic piece of art right in the heart of the city, just a few steps of the main pedestrian street.
Treat Yourself to Peter & Molly’s Pastries
Coffee Break at Centralkonditoriet
No adventure in Peter-No-Tail’s hometown is complete without something sweet. And these pastries from Centralkonditoriet are sweet in every sense of the word! The classic Swedish so-called princess cakes are crafted in the shape of Peter-No-Tail and Molly Cream-Nose.
Located at Vretgränd 16, Centralkonditoriet is Uppsala’s oldest bakery still in operation. It’s also one of the city’s smallest cafés, so seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. When the weather allows, there’s additional outdoor seating in the sidewalk of this quaint street.
