At the fastest current spacecraft speed (other than re-entry from the Moon), which is about 60000 km/hr, it would take at least 100 days to reach Mercury, depending on its position in its orbit. It could take as long as 120 days.
Most space probes do not accelerate constantly, but use planetary gravity effects to speed up or slow down, which involves long, complex orbits taking a year or more. In this case, a spacecraft actually has to decelerate from the Earth's orbital speed (about 107,000 km/hr) to reach Venus or Mercury.

How long will it take to land on mercury?
Mariner 10 was a space probe launched in November 1973, which flew by Venus and onto mercury. It took about 5 months to get to mercury back then. Maybe with a faster rocket and more modern technology, a trip to mercury might be around 3 months long.
