Within one of the spiral arms closer to the edge than the center.

On an outer spiral arm - the Saggitarius arm - about 26000 LY from the center of the galaxy.
Or, as Douglas Adams put it: Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

Not too far away from the center of the Big Bang - a somewhat insignificant galaxy with noting to recommend it. And for sure our solar system isn't anything special - except to us.
