Venice or Lake Como
We are going to Italy (never been) for 2 weeks for our honeymoon and have the option of spending 2 days in Venice and 2 in Lake Como, or 4 days in Venice. What would you recc?

I second the above: Four days in Venice.
I have just returned from Venice, it was my second time and I can't wait to go back.
However, the first time I went it was July and I would never do that again! Too crowded and too hot.

It always amazes me when people ask questions like this and NEVER mention the month of their travel. One would think weather matters little on a honeymoon. I guess it could be true if you plan to spend the entire time in bed.

The journey between Venice and, say, Bellagio would take at least 5 hours, so it would be 2 days Venice, more than a half day in transit, and 1 day plus a few hours Bellagio.
As some have mentioned, the time of year would make a difference to me. Also, because Lake Como is close and easy to reach from Milan, it gets a lot of weekenders in high season, so the day of the week would matter to me too.

4 in Venice. Lake Como is pretty and certainly worth a visit, but not prettier than hundreds of other lakes around the world.
There is nothing on earth like Venice--it is a unique world treasure.
Also, on my honeymoons, I've liked to be in one place a bit more than moving about from place to place, checking into and out of hotels, getting transport to and from hotels/stations, etc. Though that is just my personal preference.

Where else are you going?
What are your interests?
Venice and Lake Como are both wonderful - but it's apples and oranges.
Do you want a unique city with incredible museums and churches and ancient outlying islands to explore? The height of romance?
Or do you want luxe accommodations on a quiet lake with natural beauty and time to just unwind?
