Located in the heart of Itajaí's Centro neighborhood, Marco Zero serves as both a historical marker and a peaceful public square along the riverbank. It is a popular spot for locals and visitors to observe the maritime activity that defines the city, including massive cargo vessels and Brazilian Navy ships. The square's location is highly practical, situated just steps away from the ferry connecting Itajaí to Navegantes and close to the city's financial hub. While the space is modest and often quiet, it provides a unique perspective on the local shipping industry and a calm environment for a brief riverside break.

Marco Zero in Itajaí receives mixed feedback from visitors despite its historical status. Many appreciate the square for its tranquil riverside location, noting it is an excellent spot to watch cargo ships and the occasional Brazilian Navy vessel. Its proximity to the Itajaí-Navegantes ferry and the city's financial center makes it a convenient landmark for a quick stop. However, several reviewers point out that the area can feel deserted and lacks proper maintenance or urban development. Some visitors have raised concerns about cleanliness and the presence of stray animals in the vicinity. Overall, it is seen as a simple public space that offers good views but could benefit from more community events and better upkeep.
