All of the bars like La Bodeguita Del Medio and Floridita are worth a visit but relatively expensive and you can get better drinks elsewhere. La Torre has great views (slightly scary as it is so high and most Havana buildings are crumbling). There is a tour of cinemas that is good, but you can easily do it yourself on foot. I would honestly say, get out of Havana, at least for a little while. It is a bit like visiting New York and thinking that you have seen America. People are super friendly and no hassle. Hire a car from a hotel and take a drive, you won't regret it and the roads are super easy, just don't drive at night.
