Crown Princess Mary of Denmark has cycled through Sydney's CBD and taken a ride on the Danish inspired light rail as part of her first Australian tour in 10 years.
The Tasmanian-born princess is on the final leg of a Pacific tour to highlight the consequences of climate change.
She visited Fiji and Vanuatu ahead of touching down in Sydney last night.
Princess Mary and members of Denmark's visiting delegation were given a tour of the CBD cycleways by City of Sydney officials; starting at Hyde Park, riding up Pitt Street and finishing at Circular Quay.
There she met Lord Mayor Clover Moore and swapped shoes before taking a light rail journey of the transformed George Street to Town Hall.
She said the transformation of the Sydney CBD was "amazing".
"It's wonderful to be here, it's wonderful to experience the new bike lanes."
Ms Moore told Princess Mary she hoped to make Sydney a "Copenhagen of the south" and paid homage to Danish architect Jan Gehl who worked with the City of Sydney on the light rail project.
"We're really delighted we are able to show you our bike lanes and show you the beautiful light rail we have recently built here," the Lord Mayor said.
"[We've] very much been inspired by what you have in Copenhagen in terms of your bike lanes."
Ms Moore then presented the Princess with a gift — a book titled 'Creating a Liveable City' which covers projects completed by the City of Sydney.
Princess Mary returns to Denmark tomorrow.
During her last visit to Sydney, the Princess and her husband Crown Prince Frederik visited the Opera House to celebrate the landmark's 50th anniversary.
Danish architect Jorn Utzon's eye-catching sail design won the international design competition for the Opera House in 1957.
