87.97 days. A Mercury Year.
What spacecraft have visited mercury?
Mariner 10 and Messenger have visited Mercury. BepiColombo by the ESA is planned to be launched in 2013. Mariner 10 provider the first close up photos of the planet. Messenger is "filling" in the gaps not accomplished by Mariner.

yes, MESSENGER has explored Mercury. On March 18, 2011 a year from today, MESSENGER will transition from orbiting the Sun to being the first spacecraft ever to orbit the planet Mercury.
How long would it take to get to mercury in a rocket?
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.
