Spontaneous trip to Cuzco! Now what?

Cuzco for the flâneuse : looking for ideas for walking/short bus trips in town.
Long story short: I'm in Cuzco for the week by myself. It's "winter" down here, which means it's drizzling and temps are in the fifties-sixties during the day.
It goes without saying that trips to Macchu Picchu and the Sacred Valley are already in the works.
This leaves a couple of days free. So, I'm looking for ideas for walking around town/taking the bus. I've already found the Plaza de Armas and the museum district, but I'd like to explore neighborhoods. I've heard that there's a market that's worth a look so I'll probably try to get there today.
I'm in OK shape, so I can walk around without much ado. I also haven't yet had any altitude-related symptoms, fortunately for me.

My folks just got back from Cuzco, and were giving me an account of their trip just now, so I asked them what they would suggest. What they said, in addition to seconding the comment above:
Museo de arte precolombino
Museo Inka
They were in Cuzco for a conference, and the conference put them up at a pretty spectacular hotel that my mom thinks is worth seeing in its own right.
