Is the nikon af s 24 70mm f 2 8e ed vr good for travel?
Yes, with a caveat. This is a strong all-round zoom for travel. On full frame it covers wide 24mm to a short telephoto 70mm, which handles most travel pictures, and the built-in stabilisation helps in dim churches and interiors. The f/2.8 aperture is useful there too, but it makes the lens bigger and heavier than a travel zoom needs to be. Check the travel guide's advice on size and weight before you commit.
If you want it light, I'd pair it with the Nikon D750 or the Nikon D780 on full frame. If you'd rather carry less, the Nikon D7500 on APS-C frames it like 36-105mm, which is a sensible travel range for a smaller kit. For the full picture on choosing a travel setup, see the Travel guide.
