The Nikon 10-24 is an excellent quality lens but lacks VR.
Don’t know which of the other lenses might have VR but I find it important to be able to handhold for landscapes.

Just a note: you can upgrade to a Nikon D3400 and get the Nikon AF-P 10-20 mm lens for less than the cost of many of the suggested lenses.
A Nikon refurb D3400 is under $400 (although I’d buy from Cameta for free warranty extension). And it provides many enhanced features including a 24MP sensor.
I wouldn’t get D3500 because Nikon deleted sensor cleaning.

I have the Tokina 11-20 f/2.8 and have had no issues. Since I always keep a hood on it, I don't use a filter. The 11-16 f/2.8 will save a few $.

Too bad, many of us forget that Nikon has severe compatibility problems with its AF cameras and lenses.
Just need that scorecard to keep track of all the incompatibility issues they have.

Ok thank you ! Not looking for extra wide angle. Mostly for city scapes and some landscapes
An alternative you might consider if you are up to some post processing is to shoot overlapping images and stitch them together to make panoramas. Many post processing programs offer that capabilty and it usually simple to use. There are a few things you’d need to learn on how to take the images with that in mind but it also is simple.

The link I provided is the scorecard for the latest AF-P lenses. The scorecard for each camera is in the manual. You can download manuals for free from Nikon.
Actually Nikon is better than any other camera maker with regard to lens compatibilty. Almost all of their lenses fit all cameras: FX and DX, all the way back to film. Even their newest mirrorless mount cameras have an adapter to use the older mount lenses.
But there are differences with regard to autofocus, so on some cameras you have to manually focus lenses that might autofocus on some cameras.

100% of EF (FF) lenses are 100% compatible with every EOS camera ever made including the FF, APSC M and R series.
That is tough to beat. Nikon cannot even dream of this level of compatibility.
EFs subset of lenses and are specifically marked as such so no confusion work 100% with APSC, M and R cameras.
M lenses are a subset and specially marked as such for M cameras.
R lenses are marked as such and work with R cameras.
FD, FL, Canomatic R, and M39 Canon lenses work on the R series cameras (If you want to go back more than 30 years ago which 99% of those taking photos do not go back that far).

No idea what “this lens” refers to.

Actually it is very important as the OP could easily wind up getting a Nikon lens and not know it is worthless on their camera.
At least to me that would be a huge issue to know in advance.

The extra 4mm on the Tamron 10-24 is worth it. I often found myself shooting at the 24mm. I have the original version which is good, but understand that it's replacement it really quite sharp.

I was told in no uncertain terms that this lens is not compatible with the D3100 camera.
Apparently there are a huge number of Nikon lenses that don't work on various models of Nikon cameras even though they are all supposed to be capable of AF. They really are not and need a score card to keep track of what AF camera works with what AF type of lens.

I have a Nikon D7000, Nikon D7100 and a Nikon D610.. (the 610 is full frame). I have a Tamron 10-24mm zoom wide angle DX lens. Its ok but I wish I had gotten a full frame wide zoom. It is an okay lens but isn't the best or even in the top 5 or 6.
