For a lot of reasons. First of all, being a pretty young country, we have been part of many different countries before. We were part of France for a very long time, or at least a part of Belgium was. We were under the influence of the spanish, the dutch, the austrians and the germans. All that is reflected in our culture.
You can find magnificent pieces of architecture in Belgium. Go the Brussels, Antwerp, Gent, Bruges for example. Their influence in European History is important and has not gone unnoticed. Bruges as one of the greatest commercial centers of the middle ages and Antwerp as a cultural center ( great writers, painters, political people or religious people have stopped and lived there).
And if history does not interest you, don't worry. We have great food, great beer, great cheese, great chocolate great fries and great waffles. Yes, you don't come to Belgium and eat very healty.
But it's up to the people. You can find a lot of treasures in every country you go. You just need to look in up.
How did Belgium solve her ethnic problem?
Because they hardly had them traditionally. Before about 1980, almost all Belgians were white Catholic Europeans who had lived together for centuries, so no ethnic differences there. They had and still have however a great culture and language barrier that they have never overcome: that between Dutch-speaking Flemings and French-speaking Walloons.
Tensions between these two language groups have led to an effective split-up between their homelands, called Flanders and Wallonia who both have their own national governments. Political parties have been totally split up into separate Walloon and Flemish groups who often even don't cooperate on issues.
Ethnic problems have risen and largely remain unsolved to this day with the arrival since the 1970s of great numbers of Muslim immigrants from Turkey and Morocco. That has led to the rise of a Flemish party that is unashamedly anti-Muslim. The rise on the other hand of the number of fundamentalist Islam followers has only fed anti-Muslim feelings. As in several other European countries, this is a ethnic problem that has remained unresolved to this day.
