This afternoon, locals turned out in droves to welcome the Danish Royal Family, Tasmanian-born Queen Mary and King Frederik, as they made their way along Hobart’s waterfront Hunter Street Precinct.

The royal couple greeted members of the public during their highly anticipated first official visit to Australia since being crowned King and Queen in 2024, marking a rare and memorable moment for the city.

Set against the historic charm of Hunter Street, the procession unfolded outside two of Hobart’s most iconic waterfront destinations, The Henry Jones Art Hotel and MACq 01 Hotel, as crowds gathered for a glimpse of the royals.

The significant visit marks a proud moment for Hobart and Tasmania more broadly, shining an international spotlight on the city’s rich cultural identity. The event highlights Hunter Street as a vibrant hub of history, art, and hospitality, further cementing its status as a must-visit destination on the global tourism stage.
