At least five people were killed and 10 wounded in the first attack near the centrally located Sadir Hotel.
The large explosion was followed by bursts of gunfire.
In a second attack, a suicide bomber targeted a former Saddam Hussein palace being used by the Interior Ministry police command, killing at least two people and wounding four.
The latest attacks come a day after a suicide bomber drove a truck into a police station in eastern Baghdad, killing at least 22 people.
