The City Alta Walking Trail was first launched in 2008, to commemorate the first year of listed status of the historic center of the city of João Pessoa/Paraíba. The walking trail took in key points marking the history of the city, but over time, it fell into disuse. In view of the importance of the walking trail for preserving the material and immaterial cultural heritage of João Pessoa/PB, this work describes the historical heritage that can be seen along the trail, and assesses the feasibility of reestablishing the trail project. This work was developed based on documentary and bibliographic research. It is qualitative, and exploratory in character, and involved field research. Analyzing the landmarks along the trail, it was seen that these points were drastically decreased in number. But the material heritage of the city is of historical importance, with the potential to develop tourism in this segment. In order to reestablish the walking trail, improvements must be made to the attractions, understanding the benefits for the city and the population.
