Is the panasonic lumix g x 35 100mm f 2 8 ii good for travel?

The Panasonic Lumix G X 35-100mm f/2.8 II is a good lens for travel if your kit is Micro Four Thirds. It's stabilised, which helps with dim churches and interiors shot handheld, and f/2.8 is bright enough for evening food and street scenes.

It is a telephoto-leaning zoom, though. On Micro Four Thirds it frames like 70-200mm on full frame, so it won't give you the wide shots that landscapes and crowded streets need. My travel guide suggests one versatile zoom that starts wide, so pair this lens with a wider prime or zoom for those moments.

If you want a single lens for everything, this one falls short. If you already shoot Micro Four Thirds and want a versatile telephoto to carry alongside a wide, it works well. Compare it with the Panasonic Lumix G 35-100mm f/4-5.6 if you want to weigh up a slower option.
