Azimuth about 270 degrees. That's due West.

Elevation (or altitude) about 5 degrees. That's just above the horizon.

Venus is always fairly near the Sun in the sky. The Sun sets roughly in the West.

Amongst other things, the actual azimuth would depend on time of year and different latitude, of course.

I've used the convention for azimuth of North 0 or 360 degrees, West 270 degrees, South 180 degrees, East 90 degrees.

There are other conventions.

What are good sights to see on venus?

There isn't anything to see on Venus. You couldn't possibly survive at the surface anyway.

Another sight to see on Venus would be: Crater Mead, which is the largest crater on Venus.
