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 1D, EOS 1D MK IIn, EOS 1D MK III, EOS 1Ds MK III, EOS 1D MK IV and 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!):
