Yes, with special filters.
It was seen in 2004 in many parts of Europe, Africa, Asia and North and South America. The Venus transit was visible over about 75 percent of the Earth, and ended at sunrise over central and eastern North America. The event was over by the time the Sun rose over the West Coast of North America (but viewers in Alaska could see the beginning of the transit and, for Northern Alaskans, the entire transit, because the Sun does not go below the horizon).
From 3:05 trough sunset , about 7 hours
