XT 20 Travel set up.

I'm traveling to Portugal the first part of April with my grandson and am trying to put together my travel camera set up. I have a X100f but I've just never warmed up to that camera. So I purchased a like new XT20. So far I like its similarity to my XT3 and love its size. I tried it with each of my Fuji lenses, and it works great with all. So now I'm trying to narrow things down a bit lens wise and thought I'd get some input from the knowledgeable travelers here. I have available the 18-55 2.8-4, 16-55 2.8, a Zeiss 50 2.8 macro, 90mm f2 and Sigma 30mm 1.4.

If I take one of the zooms do I need a longer lens? Or do I need a fast lens for low light? Or just go with one zoom and call it good?

Thoughts?

I have an X-T2 and the 18-55 2.8-4, 16-55 2.8, 55-200, 35 /f2 and the 10-24 f/4. I went to Lisbon back in November. I didn't take the 16-55 since it's both heavy and no IS. I ended up taking the 18-55, 10-24, and the 55-200. I could have just taken the 18-55 and the 10-24 as I rarely used the 55-200. However, the long zoom was handy a long the river. I midly regret not taking the 35 f/2.

The 18-55 held up better than I thought and I used this and the 10-24 the most. Even at night along the streets of Lisbon.  The 16-55 is amazing, but it's heavy and attracts attention. The 10-24 was handy for a lot of architecture shots, but I only ended up using it about 20% of the time. I would strongly recommend the 18-55, 90mm f/2 and the Sigma 30 f/4. Here's some examples:

Optically, the 16-55 is better than the 18-55, but the addition of IS on the lens came in handy in the dark.
