As for the lenses I have a few options is mind -
Canon 50mm 1.8 --- for sure[/quote]
You can't go wrong with that one price-wise, but keep in mind that it has the build quality of a yoghurt cup and the autofocus can be a bit hit-or-miss. Maybe have a look at the 50mm f/1.4 instead if that's within your budget.

I'd suggest the Canon 15-85mm. It's a great travel lens and will also give you considerably more wide-angle than the other options.
Being only f/3.5-5.6, it's obviously not a good lens for low light stuff and shallow depth-of-field (e.g. for portraits), but since you'll have the 50mm for that, it should be okay.
