bootstrap 3 - how do I place the brand in the center of the navbar?

Question

I am using Bootstrap 3. I would like a navbar with only the brand in it. No other links or anything else. And I want the brand to be in the center. How can I accomplish this? The following css doesn't work:

.navbar-brand {
    text-align: center;
}

Answer 1

css:

.navbar-header {
    float: left;
    padding: 15px;
    text-align: center;
    width: 100%;
}
.navbar-brand {float:none;}

html:

<nav class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
  <div class="navbar-header">
    <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Brand</a>
  </div>
</nav>
