The Meh list - not great, not awful, just Meh
Ever notice that new travelers always list sights that no one ever returns to? Places with names more attractive than the place itaelf? I'm thinking visiting Rome's Spanish Steps or "strolling down the Champs Elysees." Not awful, not great, just meh.
Any additions?

Don't smack me, but Paris just did nothing for me. Nice enough city, but it just never lived up to all of the hype. I may go back some day, to give it another chance, but no big desire to do so.
Munich didn't excite me either. Again, nice city, lots to do there, but it doesn't match the hype.

Paris and Amsterdam
wanttogo - no doubt you have an intense dislike for a food, or book, or movie that some others love. Travel is no different but a surprising number of people seem to have difficulty appreciating the subjectivity of "place".

A few more:
The monocultural farm areas of Spain -- all cork or all olive trees for miles and miles
Resort hotels
The "Little Britain" parts of the Spanish coast, Marbella and nearby
Airports, the ones that are not actively horrible
