The Tøyen/Grønland district is very mixed, and still the cheapest place to live in Oslo within walking distance of the Central Station. This is one of the reasons why it attracts both students and people moving to Oslo for the first time. There are more multicultural people living in this area than in any other part of the city. In the food shops - mostly Pakistani or Turkish - you will find both exotic and Norwegian products side by side. Also in this area are the Botanical Gardens, which are home to both the Geological and Zoological museums. Also nearby is the Munch Museum. One place that is also worth a visit is the Islamic Mosque at Åkebergveien 28 - a beautiful sight. The Rudolf Nilsens Plass park is a skating rink in winter and a ballgame park in the summer. Other places you could take a look at while you are in this area are Urtehagen (an open square where children of all nationalities play) and Museumsleiligheten at Tøyengaten 37 (an apartment decorated as it was at the beginning of the last century). The latter is open only on Sundays or by appointment with Oslo Bymuseum.
