Anywhere, but only at certain times and not very often. You have to find out when Mercury is at its maximum elongation. Then it can be seen, close the Sun, at dawn or dusk. In the northern hemisphere it's best seen at Eastern elongation in the evening when it happens in the spring, or at Western elongation in the morning in autumn. That is because of the way the ecliptic lies in the sky at those times.
