The outdoor Easter markets (17 March-7 April) usher in spring and can be found in just about every city district, including the popular Vinohrady and Zizkov neighborhoods. But the market on Old Town Square is by far the largest and busiest. Open daily from 9am to 8pm, local venders hawk crafts, jewellery and crates full of coloured Easter eggs. Now in its 15th year, the One World Film Festival, which focuses on human rights, showcases more than 100 documentaries from around the world and is one of the capital's top cultural events. Screenings take place at the historic Lucerna Cinema (61 Stepanska) and other smaller art-house theatres around the city (4-13 March, oneworld.cz).
