Galaxies don't really orbit anything. There are some that are close enough to each other that their grativational pull will make them seem to orbit each other, then eventually pass through each other.

Well it is theorised that in the center of galaxies their are black wholes which they orbit around. But if you mean a galaxy as a whole, I'm not sure we dont really know yet.

Sometimes they orbit round each other. In fact galaxies are commonly found in groups or clusters which orbit round their common centre of mass. http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=42

galaxies are systems of stars of many kinds and luminosity, and shapes. our Sun is a member of the galaxy. but to answer your question galaxies do not orbit anything.
