Current space probes use various orbital paths to reach Venus, taking from 1 to 3 years. Manned missions such as the Apollo trip to the Moon would require 1 to 3 months at a minimum, to reach the planet's orbit. At the maximum velocity of any current spacecraft, a direct flight would require between 30 and 120 days, depending on Venus's position in its orbit.

The time required, of course, depends on the speed. IF we had a spacecraft capable of accelerating at one gravity continuously, (accelerate halfway, then decelerate the other half) we could get to Venus in about 3 days. Of course, if wishes were horses, then beggars could ride. There is no such spacecraft, nor do we have even a vague idea of how to design one.

Assuming the average distance of 25 million miles and the shuttles posted speed of 17,320 mph, would mean it could reach Venus in about 1,444 hours or just under 2 months.
The long time.
