Dutch people's personality traits are often described as having a high degree of directness and bluntness, mostly due to the fact that they have a pragmatic mentality. Common Dutch stereotypes are that they're cheap, good at making cheese and good at making windmills.

When considering the question "what are Dutch people like", tolerant and liberal also comes to mind. Other characteristics are their strong work ethic and their ability to make money. It's ingrained in the Dutch culture that if you work hard, you can make a good life for yourself.

People in the Netherlands often travel by bike, and the country has a strong cycling culture. That's what the Dutch are most known for, and it's what you may see in the news sometimes.

The Netherlands is a popular tourist destination among foreigners, and apart from speaking Dutch, almost all Dutch people are able to communicate in English. So don't be afraid to ask for help. It's not difficult to find someone who can help you out with a short conversation. The Dutch are well-known for their friendliness.
