Whistler is located at the south-east of Canada and is know for exquisite mountain views and skiing. Whistler has one of the largest skiing resorts in North America. Have acrophobia (phobia of heights)? No worries, it also offers other tourist attractions like museums, cultural centres and beautiful lakes.
Don’t miss:- Alexander Falls, Whistler Blackcomb, Dog Sledding, Scandinave Spa
Cost- Whistler is costly and you can easily get charged 400-800 CAD only for accommodation. But by becoming a miser, you can easily find ways to save some bucks. For eg- plan your stay at Squamish BC, which is 58 km away from Whistler or by planning well in advance or in offseason.
2. Churchill, Manitoba
Known for polar bears and sea creatures, Churchill is located at the eastern side of Canada, on Manitoba province. Churchill is also called a polar bear capital of the world.

Apart from underwater habitat, Churchill also has some very interesting museums, forts and national parks for terrestrial animals as well.

Cost:- The bad news is that, like Whistler, Churchill is also not a pocket-friendly place.

But you can save some money by staying in hostels instead of hotels, using low-cost transportation like trains.
