The galactic center is towards the constellations of sagittarius and scorpius.
Up here in Iowa, at 42 degrees north, the galactic center is only visible to the south during the summer.
In the southern hemisphere, it would be visible all year long.
And by the way, I have a lovely panorama hanging on my wall of the 360 degrees of the milky way!!!
This image only has 90 degrees of the milky way.
