I second Vienna.
Some of the places mentioned I wouldn't mind going back to because there was a good museum that I wouldn't mind seeing again but Vienna, nothing. A day and a half was quite enough.

First place I thought of was Dublin. And I agree that Madrid isn't quite what it's cracked up to be.
Disagree with others about, well, most of the ones mentioned so far. But especially Paris and Amsterdam. And we actually liked Zagreb more than we expected to. Go figure.

I think I would include
Brussels (except the Grand Place and the art museum)
Salzburg. Salzburg wasn't great to me - not bad, and the surrounding area is wonderful; the city itself was just OK.
Zurich
Bellagio - I was surprised at how small it was; there's not all that much there.

If "Meh" can mean, "ok, I'm glad I went once but don't care to return," then:
Paris, mostly. (Although if I got a chance to go with DD or a female friend, I might re-think this.) Loved the rest of France that DH and I visited (mostly Normandy area).
Barcelona
Brighton, England

If you don;t go you won't know what your "meh" places are. And I've found only one in more than 100 trips (but not all to different places obviously).
I've been enchanted by some places we just fell on while driving - as well as a couple of places we put into a trip since it just seemed like a convenient place to stop for a night
