The area has in fact a couple of large shopping centers, hotels and clubs that make it suitable for those who have decided to stay overnight near the airport.
Ülemiste overlooks the northeastern shore of the lake of the same name, the water reservoir of Tallinn. It is part of the Lasnamäe district, a popular residential area with no interest for passing tourists.
