There's take-away, there's groceries, there's market, food shops and even a few restaurants. And if that's not good enough, next door Telliskivi area has even more!

Arts & Culture
There's an old u-boat inside, you can even get into it. But if you're on budget, just stroll around, you can take a look at various ships just outside of the building / on the quay.

Getting Around
Just short walk away. If train goes where you want to go, this is where they start - including just Ülemiste City or Tondi - this is the best and fastest mode of public transport.

Unless you have a bike, tram is the best way to get around. Newly renovated tram lines run from "Põhja puiestee" (across from Rimi) or "Linnahalli" (across from the Energy Centre) tram stops towards Kopli (north) to go to Balti Jaam (both lines 1 and 2) and City Centre (both lines), where you can continue to Kadriorg (lines 1 and 3) or to the south to Bus station (lines 2 and 4) or directly to the Airport (line 4). Trams usually run after every 5 or 10 minutes.

Entertainment & Activities
Sort of a modern museum / activity center for all energy-related. They will show you how lightning works. Good for curious kids who are eager to find out how things work.

Unique event space that has hosted the main summits of the EU leader to local coffee festivals and concerts. If you're in the area for business trip or seminar, it might just be that your main event is held here, just next door! If nothing else going on, there's a restaurant "Korsten" inside, which may allow you to peek into part of the building.
