Given the 3 lens you were planning on bringing, I'd bring the 24-70 f2.8. My rationale? If you want to go wider, it's likely in a narrow street or inside a building/room in which case the f4.5 aperture won't be light enough. The 70-200mm f2.8 probably won't be valuable since you're not planning on wildlife or sports and it's big. Put the 24-70 on your camera and never take it off. And okay, don't get a tripod. But look in to the small mini-3-legged device...it's small and light. Or a clamp that screws in to the bottom of your camera. You'll use one of them for only 10 shots--but you'll be glad you had them. B/c they'll be long exposures.
I'm a big fan of primes but the 50mm f1.4 does little for you unless you want to shoot flowers with a narrow DoF. f1.8/f2.0 could help you in a dark room or chapel but the 50mm will be to big (you'd want a 24-35mm focal length inside). So just bring the 24-70mm. That allows you to really travel light, keep your camera on you at all times ready to shoot and eliminates times you're swapping lens.
