Lens recommendations for trip to Europe

Hello all, I'm new to DSLR camera, I purchased a Canon T3I as I was told it was a good camera for beginners. I'm traveling to Europe in a few weeks and I'm unsure what lenses I should bring with me. I currently have 5 lenses and only want to bring 3 out of 5 due to space. I have the standard 18-55 MM (Which I'm bringing), 50 MM, 28 MM, 55-250 MM and a 100-300 MM. I was wondering which two out of those 4 that I should bring. I would really appreciate the input.

"There is a reason to take the 50mm (f/1.8 I assume). ..."

This is the point I made restated don't take any prime unless you can define a special need. Unless I knew for certain I needed a low light lens I still recommend leaving it at home.

EOS 1DX and many lenses.

When I was in Europe, I would have needed a low-light lens in several situations (for my Minolta APS SLR!):
