Best travel lens for the nikon d3300?

For travel on the D3300, I'd start with the Nikon AF-S DX 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR. It covers about 27-210mm in full-frame terms, so one lens handles wide streets, food and distant details. The VR stabilisation matters because the D3300 has none in the body, and dim churches need slow shutter speeds.

If you want more reach and don't mind a bigger lens, the Nikon AF-S 24-120mm f/4G ED VR gives roughly 36-180mm equivalent.

For evenings and food, pack the Nikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G, a small fast prime that stays in the bag easily. That's the classic travel pairing: one zoom, one prime. See what to pack for the rest.
