Ones I been to: Adelaide and Canberra. Ok to visit for a day or 2 but after I stay longer I get bored. Generally cities over 2 million with great public transport I find the ones not boring at all.

I found Melbourne to be quite boring, but Sydney was a different story. I think Houston is quite boring, but a great place to raise a family.

Billy Connolly called the Glasgow housing estates "deserts with windows". I think that's a fitting definition for some cities. Some don't even have windows, mind...

You found Melbourne quite boring? That is strange as I prefer Melbourne than Sydney. I lived there for years as there was always something happening there. In addition there are hidden bars and shops in the city and small side streets. Plus every time I visit there there is always something new there.
