Camera For European Vacation

I love my Pentax KS-1 but it is a bit bulky for the March vacation in Europe.  I have a Canon 12MP point-and-shoot but its zoom range is limited and it has such limited aperture that I suspect the inside cathedral shots are not going to dshoots.  This is my big problem with phone csmeras.

Is there a category of cameras compact enough for q jacket pocket with lots of zoom and large aperture.   Yes they are called bridge cameras because, I think, they are the bridge between DSLRs and point and ahoots.  Some have amazing zoom ranges and 20MP and up resolution, and larger aperture than the point and shoots.

As I get closer to Match, I will watch thr prices fsll and buy.
