Salzburg or Innsbruck?
If I only have time to visit one, which should it be? We enjoy flea markets, great scenery, and browsing through antique and junk shops. This will be a spring or summer visit.

This might not be the reply you want, but I would recommend you spend more time in Munich and see Salzburg as a day trip from Munich. Unless you want to be included in a lot of touristy/kitschy stuff you'll find much more of interest in Munich. I spend two days in Salzburg and after one day wished I had been in Munich instead. (If I ever see another Mozart ball again I'm going to scream.)

Im going to both, though spending 2 nights in Innsbruck and overnight in Salzburg. its hard for me to skip any one of these 2, so i've decided to save a bit more but leave for europe a few more weeks later. that way i don't miss any of the places i've been dreaming to see. hope this helps.

Hmmm.. I find it interesting that two replies suggested skipping Salzburg and Innsbruck. I have been to Munich a couple of times and just travelled in Austria and I loved Salzburg and Innsbruck! I would choose Salzburg as my favorite out of the two.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I liked both Salzburg and Innsbruck more than Munich (although I liked Munich, too).
If I had to choose one, I'd pick Salzburg because it seemed so quaint when I was there. Although I loved Innsbruck, as well, it seemed more urban than Salzburg.
Good luck with your decision.
