The direction was changing a lot when it was deeper in the sun's gravity well and during the Jupiter/Saturn flybys, but currently roughly towards Ophiucus: https://heavens-above.com/SolarEscape.aspx

(note the use of right ascension/declination instead of north/south/east/west, as those would change with your location on earth, time of day, and the seasons)

What a great place for Voyager to be, probably my favorite part of the sky to look at!

Relative to what? Center of the galaxy? Center of the solar system? Earth?
