Vatican City: St. Peter's Square
Need to check from you guys, is Vatican City a country or a part of Italy? Some say it is the smallest country in the world, some say it is a part of Italy. Which got me so confused!

Anyways, St. Peter's Square is the home of the Pope and any forms for Christian rituals or celebrations will be held here as main events. Just like Muslims with the Makkah. The Pope is the highest rank in the Catholic Church. I do not want to get down to the historic facts because I am not good at it, and I do not want to give out wrong information causing you to bash me up at the comments. My main aim is to tell you that the place is beautiful and this should be a part of your itinerary in Rome.
We didn't wanna get it as the queue is bloody long, taking photos from outside is good enough.

Being the typical Malaysians. We would definitely find a shady spot away from the sun.
How to get there?
If you are on the Roma Pass, the small card which is provided in the package is your ticket to travel via Metro and take Linea A, exit at Ottaviano-S. Pietro (if you can't remember the name "Ottaviano" like me, you just remember San Pietro. That's the Italian way of pronouncing St. Peter). And then you walk there for 5 minutes. Follow the crowd as most tourists are heading that way (not a helpful tip, Sufiena!), or follow the signage.
Then we toured around Rome,no non specific via the bus. I can't remember where exactly because I didn't write it in my journal and I was more a follower than the leader in my backpacking team. If you want to walk around Rome via the bus, feel free to do so. The transportation is easy and not too complicated. Check out Rome Info to find out more.
Well, we went around and came across some museums, official government buildings, the Spanish Step, and Mouth of Truth. The final visiting spot of the day is the Patheon which was upon my request because I played Assasin's Creed Brotherhood and I'm gonna tell you all about that later.
