Take ME!
And ME TOO!
If you are going to have a "base" in Zürich and make short trips from there then you probably can bring them all....
18mm is wide enough for me (I have a 16-35 VR)...you don't need to include everything in scene. I personally find that many landscape photos that I like are taken with a moderate wide or even a telephoto lens. For cityscape, I personally dislike a lens too wide without perspective correction (unless you can always find a elevated viewpoint). 20-28mm range give me way more keepers than anything wider.
I think the 18-35mm zoom cover a common weak point of super-zoom... heavy distortion at the wide end.
The only wider lens I use is fisheye lens... rarely used, but can be good for some applications (like dome of cathedral, mosque etc).
I often travel with a 50mm, hardly ever used it in any trips. I prefer something a little wider (35/40mm).
85 1.4D... (only traveled with it once or twice). It's heavy. I wouldn't take it with me unless I have something in mind (say, I'm going watch fork dance, circus etc). For portraits of family/friends, fast tele lens also means shallow DOF, not always what you want. For me, especially travel photos, it's more interesting to show where the photo is taken. If the background is eliminated, it's a bit like a picture taken in the backyard.
If I have to take only 2 lens from your list, that would be 28-300 and 18-35.
