Venus can't get farther than about 48° from the Sun, so you can see it sometimes in the evening after sunset, and sometimes in the morning before sunrise. (Actually you can see it in the daytime as well, but only if you know exactly where to look.)In July 2017, Venus is visible in the morning, before sunrise. Just look out for a very bright star.
