Not really sure what we'll be photographing yet. I would imagine the historical structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, St Peters, etc... indoors and outdoors. At that time of the year it'll probably be getting dark early so probably a fair amount of nighttime shots.
Assuming you have a stabilized body and you're going to be taking mostly photos of architecture and/or adults I think you will be fine with your Sigma. Have you done any travel and/or low light photography before? If you have a museum nearby they tend to have at least one section with challenging lighting. It will also give you a feel for whether or not you want a wider lens.
Good point. we're not far from NYC. Maybe in the next couple weeks we can head in at try it out at a couple museums. We were actually there today and took it down to Chinatown to test it out at a couple restaurants there. It worked fairly well but will try it out at a museum next week. Thanks for the suggestion!
No worries, good luck and have a good trip! I wouldn't worry about your current lens until you find yourself needing something wider, but I wonder if a wider aperture might be more useful. But again, for fairly static subjects you're probably going to be fine.
