Budget of MAX 700 euro/$ need guidance for lenses

So, I just bought my first advanced camera, an NX300 with 20-50mm kit. Got it for 320 euro, spent another 40 on samsung kit bag W/ external charger.

Now I'm going to Rome in august, and I've decided to sell the 20-50mm and go for a 30mm prime, but I also want something with more range, there is the 50-200mm, but is it good enough in low light, at night?

There is the 85mm prime, but it's a hefty pricetag, still thinking about it tho.. would it be enough zoom for average use? I mostly shoot street, people, so I don't really need 200mm. There is the samyang 85 for half the price, no AF tho.

Or there is the way of buying adapter for Pentax K mount and buy really cheap lenses on ebay.

Some advice for a beginner please? If you had 700 dollar/euro to spend, how would you do it?

Here is some examples of my 3 days with the camera:
