There is no centre of the universe.

Explanation:

The universe started as a point which was the big bang. It expanded into the universe we know today.

The concept of a centre of the universe requires an absolute coordinate system. Relativity proved that there is no such concept.

So, the concept of the centre of the universe is meaningless. Alternatively, one can say that everywhere is the centre of the universe as it started from a single point at the big bang.
