I think visiting a couple of the big temples is a great experience. I'm not sure how many tourists think to do this, but the must-see temples are all (mostly) listed in the guidebooks. It's more about people-watching though temple architecture and the gods are interesting too.
Also, as with any city, walking around a few of the neighborhoods.
