Is the sigma 24 105mm f 4 dg os hsm art good for travel?

Yes, for most travel. The lens covers the range I look for in a travel zoom, roughly 24-105mm in full-frame terms, which takes in wide landscapes, street scenes and portraits without a lens change on a crowded square. It's also stabilised, which helps in dim churches and interiors. The f/4 maximum aperture is fine in daylight but gives less room in very low light.

It's a full-frame lens, so it fits full-frame bodies on Canon EF and Nikon F, such as the Canon EOS 6D Mark II or the Nikon D750. On an APS-C body it frames like a longer lens, about 36-158mm on Nikon.

Before you commit, weigh the whole camera and lens together. If that's too much for your bag, the Travel guide has other options by type.
